I've noticed a grey discolored area around the base of the tail on my Cham. It's been this way for a few weeks now. It doesn't seem to cause her any stress, as she is healthy and active even with the tail thing. Strangely, it only shows at certain times, like when she is a darker shade, you can see the discoloration, but when she is lighter, it seems to disappear. I'm not sure what it could be but it definitely stands out and the fact that it's been there for a long time makes me worry. Here's some photos, I can get better ones if need be.
