I know he's small I just got him. Bad pet store. The black marks don't seem like a normal colour change and although they don't cover as much space as before they are still there mostly around his neck, not a
black beard it does look like a bruise it between a dark purple and a black. I did scrub his rock with a scrub brush and a bleach solution, the mark won't come out. And it wasn't carpet, it was laminate flooring, and it was about 2.5 feet that he fell. I have scrubbed the rock with a bleach solution for like 20 min, not coming off. I was just worried about the very large amount of space it covered. He is not outdoors, just near a window, if he was outdoors now he'd be freezing : P

Edit: The black spot is no longer on his neck but theres still a bit under his armpit. It doesn't look like anything normal, but then again I have a months experience.
Just gave him another
bath he held his breath 3 times. Its so sad, he puffs himself up as much as he can closes his eyes and sits there limp. I wasn't going to give him a
bath today but he ran through his poop this morning. Hopefully he'll connect the dots eventually and figure out that poop =
bath. I feel sorry for him when he does that, I wish he would stop it, I don't know if there's something wrong with him that causes it or if its just panic. Im not trying to stress him out : /
