Today I noticed my beardie’s feet are pink on the underside of each foot. I’ve never noticed this before. She’s been staying outside off and on all summer in a dog pen during the day when the weather is nice (brought inside late afternoon/early evening). She has a basking platform, shaded corner, hide and a mesh cover to keep her from escaping or birds trying to get her. She enjoys it. I’m not sure if this redness is from her trying to climb up the sides of her pen and are abrasive/bruise type marks or what. She did appear to poop recently and had some on her hind feet and I thought initially that was irritating her feet (which I’ve never seen happen with my other beardies after running through their poo). But then I realized her front feet weren’t dirty and were pinkish too. I plan to give her a bath tomorrow to soak and clean.
She hasn’t shed her feet/toes recently, so it’s not irritation from that, and it doesn’t look slightly white or orangish-pink like shed can look.
Should I be concerned about this? In the pic you can see her leg underside, which is her normal foot color. I put the foot over white paper to try and get a better look at the reddish color. Her hind feet are a little darker than her front feet - they’re pinker.
