Losing scales or ...

xelabou Mar 16, 2005 03:31 PM

Please take a look at the picture...
Sara just had her first orange spots last 2 days.

During the same time, her scales on the libs part of the ventrum and the scales on her legs became strange !!!

Is this a normal thing during orange phase or a bad coincidence ?

i have never noticed any of my girls getting those type of spots on their stomachs when they turned orange. i have no idea what is wrong with her. hopefully she just wants to shed or something!

So your telling me thats its bad coincidence !

My girlfriend tought it was normal but I'm much more suspicious than her.

At least, Sara havnt lost her appetite. I wish she is going to shed and get a new scaleskin soon.
