I posted this yesterday and got no response. I can't have stumped everyone.

I am concerned about my male Jackson's. He just finished shedding and I am noticing some black areas/marks on his skin. It is almost like a lack of pigment in certain spots. Any Idea what may be causing this or if it is permanent? Please post any ideas you may have.
Thank You for reading my post.

Hi-

Black marks after a shed could be a sign of trouble spots (stuck sheds). I have also seen male Jackson's with one black spot on the side of the chameleon that comes and goes. Also it could be burn marks, a photo could help solve your concerns. Hope this helps!
