A couple days ago i noticed Nef's stomach shed had a circular brownish spot on it about an inch in diameter (most of his width). Upon further investigation I found a patch of something the same colour faintly smudged in the corner of the viv and found that he still had some of it around the top underside of his thighs. I gave him a good long bath (the first one he's actually seemed to enjoy, he was quite playful as opposed to his usual anger and panic) and lightly poked around his belly, legs and lower body and he doesn't seem to be in any pain. It looks like it may have been blood but he seems perfectly fine. He's had a near vegetarian diet for almost a week due to a delayed worm shipment (and he won't eat anything they sell in town, his picky) but I gave him a couple freshly shed supers that I'm trying to breed. He bites them clear in half before he eats them and it doesn't seem like he's had any problems with his stool, this smudge was in a completely different spot from where he was pooping. I have noticed that his stools are more dry than usual, does anyone have any idea as to what may have happened?. I was wondering if it may be a female type issue but I'm pretty sure he's a male, big pores, no other signs yet maybe because he's very small for his age, I got him Jan 26th the pet store said he was at least 6-7 months old at the time and was about 4.5" long he is now 11" but still no giant by any means of measurement.
Also on another topic is it common for them to make heavy breathing / popping noises when in the water? When i first got him he was making the popping noise all the time and suspecting a RI I went to the vent and got some antibiotics and he stopped doing it on a regular basis, but still sometimes he will make these noises in the water. Could he just be regulating his beardie flotation device or do you think he may still have some sort of respiratory problem?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
