Hi, I have a 2 month old Leopard hatchling. Today while soaking him (or her), I noticed a bit of orange under only his left eye. Could this possibly be from the terracotta dish? It is also on the fold of his neck.

His overall health has been good, very active, eats a lot, passes his food OK as you can partially see in the back.

Thanks for looking.image_2021-03-19_19-31-50.jpgimage_2021-03-19_19-31-33.jpg

It looks a bit sore to me, but it is an unusual color. I don't know of any way that his dish could do that.

Have you tried to gently wash it off? Maybe with a Q-tip. Has he eaten anything that color?

Let's ask someone who's seen everything there is to see when it comes to tort ailments.
