Blue spot

[Lennoncham]

So I noticed a couple days ago that Cynthia has this blue spot on her. Anyone know what this is and if I should be worried?

Possibly stuck shed? Have you tried using a damp Q-Tip and rubbing it off?

Doesn't look like anything to worry about to me. If it spreads then... From the pic, which is good, each scale has taken on that colour, its nothing on the surface like shed.

Thanks for the reply’s. She did recently shed but it does look more like the scales have taken on that pigment more on the surface of the scale. I’ll keep an eye on it.

No, just a she really wants to have the blue color too cham. She is jealous of the boys being so colorful. This is what I get for attempting to be silly.

She identifies as as blue berry.

Definitely not shed, could be a bruise, as long as their is no swelling or growth I don’t see anything to worry about...

Thanks. No swelling or anything. It doesn’t seem to bother her if I touch it other then the normal don’t touch me reaction.

I think maybe a bruise. It seems to be more in the top layer of the scales and you can still see the darker pigments underneath.
