Hello everyone,

I normally do a lot of lurking and don't post often, but this one's got me stumped. My female Jackson's just finished a shed and I noticed she had some very dark, almost black coloring along her side. There is the possibility that she is gravid so I didn't think much of the coloring at the time. Then I looked a little closer and it turns out that it's dried blood. I cleaned the area as best I could and applied some bacitracin and now she's doind the same thing with the other side. She appears to be catching her side with her hind legs when she walks and her claws are scraping her sides. She's actually picking up her legs higher than she needs to. I'm open to suggestions. She eats fine and all the normal husbandry stuff is ok. Temps, humidity, etc, I'm very familiar with what is required for proper care. Has anyone ever seen this type of behavior? Thanks in advance. If I can figure out how, I'll post a picture.
