Hello,
Have you tried bathing & using a soft toothbrush to see if any of that will come off? It could
be pigmentation changes which tend to happen after a shed. I hope it isn't fungal in nature.
If it doesn't go away, I would take him into the vets for a culture to be sure it isn't a fungal
problem. What substrate are you using in the tank?

Hi tracie,
I’ve bathed her many times since it first appeared and it doesn’t seem to be anything that can come off with cleaning. I use repticarpet which I spot clean frequently and thoroughly clean her tank 3-4x a month. She has not been in contact with any other reptiles for years.
