Purple underside! *help!*

Breathingbywires Apr 29, 2004 04:05 PM

My new baby I knew wasn't 100% when I got her, however she seems fine.

She is eating about 3 mealies a day and is using the bathroom daily.. however her underside has a purple like bruise or blotch.. any ideas as to what is wrong?

Can you get a pic of her?

How big is the blotch? It might just be the liver/stomach - you can see through their abdomens.. That's why it's easy to tell if a leo is gravid or not!

Babies have somewhat translucent skin you're probably seeing one of her internal organs (if it looks like a small dot it could be the spleen, sometimes the liver is visible as a larger dark mass; even a tummy full of crickets can look like what you're describing). As long as she's eating and pooping normally, don't worry about it
