Hi everyone, I recently got a new beardie after my older boy passed away from a tumor last year. We've had him about a week now and he has been pretty good about eating since we got him and has lots of energy. He was doing a lot of running around this morning while I was cleaning so I jsut went to take him out and he has these strange patches of pink scales that I haven't seen on him before. He is a leatherback zero morph and is 3 years old. Ambient temp is 80 and basking spot is 95-100 depending on where he sits. It almost looks like he is going into a patchy shed but the scales are pink instead of white. The hide that is in his tank is pretty rough and I've never had a leatherback before, is him running across it possible aggrivating his scales? It looks like there is one scale that was bleeding but it has stopped now. There are also a few scales on his belly that look like they are older and were missed on his last shed that I also hadn't noticed before (he has not shed since he has been with us, its only been about a week so I'm wondering if they were missed on his last shed) ill try to attach pictures for reference. Thanks!
