Thor has those little black barks all over his tummy, I've seen them commonly called stress marks and I'm wondering what they mean? Should I be worried?
I just got him a few days ago, and it could be relocation stress, but they've been there since he's come home and haven't gone away for a second!
He has the right lighting, right temperature (with slight fluctuation), poops and urinates regularly, and is eating mostly gut-loaded and dusted live crickets, though he has available veggies at all times. (Carrots right now, but he's not very interested in things that don't move.)
Also, could I get suggestions on taming the little guy? He's kind of like :x :x whenever I come into his space, so I've avoided touching him as much as possible to let him settle in. (Sometimes I pet him as an attempt of getting him used to my touch, and he usually lets me. I also pick him up when I mist him and he doesn't flee but he seems eager to get away whenever I'm done.)
So, black marks?
Taming?
Also, could anyone help me use one of his pictures to make an avatar? <_< I don't know how to reduce KB to lower than 16.
EDIT: The blackness of his underbelly has gotten worse since I posted this. Now under his chin it more looks like white spots and the rest is black. His tummy is still the same, but I'm afraid it's going to follow suit.
