RE: Please help!

Yes it could be, it could be many other things. A vet visit is most likely required.

I'm worried but my problem is I can't find any vets who deal with reptiles in my area. And petco refuses to take a look at him. What can I do?

RE: Please help!

septicemia is an infection and the red color sometime pink color is an infection underneath the shell. It could be this, but a vet will be able tp tell for sure. Antibiotics are required to take care of it.

Well the vet said the color change was just an indicator he was sick so we knew that right away, he then did a poop test and found what looks like pin worms but could very well be hook worms. I got some antibiotics to try and flush out the worms. He said that if shakespeare isn't seeming to perk up and get a little better within a few days to let him know and he will need a new poop sample and will then send it in to tell of it's for sure hook worms or not. Thank u all for your support again. I'm glad I had people to help me out in my moment of worry. :)
