It's hard to tell from the picture but I think it's just a scuff mark from rubbing up against something. It could also be a little spot of Marbling developing.
Thats what I was wondering... I dont have anything in the enclosure that would cause that I don't think.... ive been super paranoid to try to avoid it... I took out that rock hide a week ago and changed it to a plastic one. Both of which she doesn't use ? i guess ill just ha e to watch her.
Thank you so much!

No, its the same color as her 'spots' and because of the pyramiding she has had since I brought her home I can't really tell if it has a groove to it
