Hello all! Justin & Smaug reporting in! So Smaug appears to be doing fine, eating on her own in her new enclosure and seems healthy and happy.
I'm writing this post because I noticed this dark patch of scales on her left knee area yesterday. I think it may just be shed? Her front arms are in shed, but whenever she's in shed, the coloration of the shed is more of a grey/white color. The area on her left knee is darker than the surrounding area, almost a blackish tint...which is clearly different from the surrounding scales and wasn't like this before. Thoughts?

It could be that she is just darkening up a bit and it could be shed. I wouldn't worry unless she is acting strange favoring that leg or having a loss in appetite
I agree that it's just a patch of shed, nothing to worry about at all. You can spritz him in the tank 1-2X a day [ a quick light mist, not a heavy one] to help with shedding, but either way it will come off in it's time.
