What are these dots? I just notcied them today. They seem to be slightly swollen around the dot. Any ideas?

They're femoral pores. Completely normal, males generally have larger ones, and they can tend to get bigger as they get older. I believe they're used for marking territory and letting females know there's a male around.

Thanks from me too! I just noticed those exact marks on my Piggy the other day, couldn't get a decent enough picture to post though.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
