My royal shed 3 days ago, no problems at all and is eating well ect
Since he shed, white patches have appeared on his back and tail, there is also a noticable fading of colour, i cannot find any info on what on earth it is. He is fit and healthy. Ive attatched a few pics, camera phone so it was the best i could do Any advise appreciated.

I have heard of this before and I'm pretty sure next time she sheds it will be gone Wink

So nothing to worry about, some one that has had first hand experience of this may be along soon so they be able to confirm it for you

Ah, see mine is LTC so originally wild caught. I don't know where the marks come from to be honest... but they've gone now. They just shed out so nothing to worry about i dont think.

I wouldn't worry about it i have heard of this before. i think i have even seen a thread on this site about it before if i remember correctly it was either an admin or moderator with a burm. could be wrong though. if shes eating and pooing then i wouldn't worry. Smile
