I have noticed that Dudlee has looked a little stressed lately. Today when I held her, I took a look at her tummy. It is kind of like two shades of white/grey. I dont know what it could be. It is like half her tummy is one color, and the other half is a different color. It's not a horrible color or anything (just whiteish and greyish). Anyone know if this is something to worry about?

someone else just asked a very similar question. The marks on their belly are called stress marks. Sometimes if they're stressed, be it they're in a different environment or not feeling well, the stress marks will become darker. If they remain there constantly (seeing it seems she's stressed u say) & she goes off her food or anything like that, then maybe look into your setup re lights & heat. Otherwise u should notice them lighten & darken depending on what's going on in her life. Hope that helps :)

The only time I've seen mine like that is when she was pregnant. :shock: But I figure your girl is just shedding silly this time around. If she gained a lot of weight that would make sense. Is it an area that she lays on more than the rest, like rubbing against a rock or wood? Maybe the cells died out quicker there and is in regrowth stage. :dontknow:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
