[puffersfamily]

Puffer has not been eating, hes active, hes pooped ... gave him a bath tonight and i noticed these marks after his bath...
is this normal? what is it, am prety sure they werent there before.
temps are good, everything else ive been sure to follow all the right steps... hes 16inches, about 9mos, 55gallon tank, basking temps good, has a hide, tile substrate, driftwood... feed him a salad everyday with dandelion greens, romaine, sometimes bananas and peas and raspberries.... just started giving him superworms but before he stopped eating he was eating about 15crickets a day, 4 superworms...

Those darts or spots don't have anything to do with eating etc.
They are femoral pores. They are perfectly normal.

As for your beardie not eating, that may be another issue.

k thanks good to know they are normal
Now his issue with eating ... He's just not eating very much a few worms, a few crickets and not sure how much of his salad he eats coz it's usually scattered all over his tank by the time we get home from work. And when we do get home he's dark ... And wants out... We let him out every night let his roam around (today he stood at the patio door looking outside for while)
Could we be taking him out of his tank too much because he is stress marks until we take him out.. And then he's all white belly when he's out of his tank, even inthe bath...could he be spoiled? He likes to "cuddle"

Hey puffersfamily, I can't actually help you with your problem..but I have a question about something you mentioned.

Hopefully I didn't misread but did you say that when you get home puffer is a darker colour? Then you take him out and he goes back to normal colour?

It may be hormones. Seems to be about the right age and time of year for our boys to go a bit nutty.
