I have a 3 year old female that has been in very good helath so far. However, about a week ago her right back foot started to discolor and I left for a trip and returned to 2 more gray feet and the tip of her tail discolored. She has just recently shed and still the discolor is there. I feed her repashy formula daily and about a dozen crickets a week. I had been dusting all crickets with calcium but cut back to 1/2 of the crickets recently as her calcium sacs were enlarged. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dont know much about them but when she shed did it all come off her toes/tail? I know this can be an issue with some lizards....

discoloured limbs normally means there retained shed on the affected limbs, best thing to do is use a warm bath about 1-2 degrees higher in temp than her hot spot and leave her in the bath until the temp lowers to about 5 degrees below her warm spot, do this for a couple of days, thats what i do with my leo and within a day or 2, she goes back to normal.
