Hey guys just had Galaxy out and noticed she had a couple of red dots on her tail??

i have absolutely no idea so took a couple of pictures (well the best you can get of something that is constantly moving!)

Any help at all would be really appreciated!

she shed on the 3rd of this month and it looked to be complete at the time?

I'm not sure, I'd definately check it closely when she does shed to make sure her tail bit comes off alright.

Bless her!
I'm hoping to keep a snow this year from my clutch, although they are all reluctant to hatch! lol

Looks like it may have gotten stuck/trapped somewhere, look like a few small scratches. I wouldn't worry too much, just make sure they stay clean and dry, and make sure the tip comes off with her next shed. She may not shed badly, but you'll just have to judge that yourself :)

It is hard to see when the tail hasn't shed right to the tip. Could be it didn't come right off an its caught now an pulled off. Does it look like its bled

I did think that looking at the last pic, looks sorta raw.

I might put her on kitchen towel just for a couple weeks whilst it's fresh and sore looking, if only just as a precautionary thing :)
