hey guys, chii has had these black spots on her underside since we got her from the reptile shop, tad unsure of what they are or if they are harmful to her. i nudged one of them and it seemed to move when i did, not as if anything was alive in it, just up her body then it sludged back down to where it was. she didn't seem bothered at all by me nudging it, no striking or defensive behavior.







Thanks for your help :)

okey doke, just been holding her and towards her bottom and she let out some bright yellowy pus kind of pee stuff, is this pee or is it a worrying thing? thanks for the help obviously still new to it all :) but picking up on my research. how long does it normally take to pass through the system? iv had her about 4 weeks and they have been there since we got her.

Was still a good question, if you hadn't of asked you never would've known.
There could be many more that have had a similar question and don't need to ask now.
