With the last two shed Narcissa my snow has gotten this black mark on her back, ive tried scrubbing it with tooth brush its not dirt, shes shed twice and it seems to get darker with shed anyone have a clue what this is on my pretty snowie girl
Stress mark? they get black spots on their somachs from stress.... but to me it looks like its just happening and isnt dangerous. Is there any change in behavior?
its not a stress mark she always has a creamy white belly, no there is no change n behavior. it doesnt fade or go away its just a black line on her skin.
no its just showed up with the last two sheds. she was hatched in sept 09 and it wasnt there when i got her at 8 weeks its only been there the past month.
even with zooming way in on it i swear it looks like a scar. maybe she cut herself somehow and it went unnoticed? It has the exact makeup of what a scar looks like on a dragon (to include, per that picture, a slight difference in the texture of the skin in that area). Black streaks dont just pop up. Its either a scar or it could be a fungus (though in my opinion it does not look like a fungus).
thanks for the info, i dont think its fungus. it very well could be from a scratch i just didnt notice. it doesnt bother her or me we were just curious as to what it could be. thanks again
yeah a scratch or cut could easily have gone unnoticed (specially if it didnt blead) its nothing to be worried about. And after a few more sheds may be completely un-noticable.
