Good evening,
Found a tiny black spot on the side of my young Jackson. He's about 6-7in TL, to give perspective for how small the spot in the picture actually is. He started to go dark when I got my phone close (he's only been with me for two days), but when he's calm it really stands out.
Burn? Bite? Bruise? Fungus?
There are two ~1inch crickets scurrying around the enclosure--pushing the size limit of what I feed him. It's 18x18x36, and I leave a small piece of cricket food on the floor, so I wouldn't expect them to bite him, but does that look like a bite?
Enclosure: 18x18x36
Lights: 75W basking, UVB/UVA, closest perch appx 10in.
--note: he was clawing around on the roof quite a bit today. However, I don't see how he'd burn himself up near his back if he had his belly to the lamp.
Tank décor: 3 artificial vines, 4 artificial hanging plants, 3 pothos, 2 grapevine sticks.
I mist the tank many times per day (since my Reptirain and Reptifogger both broke on first attempted use )
He was particularly adventurous today, and made his way around parts of the enclosure that he hadn't explored yet. Did a bit of hunting, and like I said, crawled all around the ceiling. It's possible that he fell, although I didn't see it and given what I've seen of him getting around so far I kind of doubt that he did.
Like I said, he's small and this photo is taken at close distance (which apparently has him a little annoyed). The dot is actually very tiny.
