Possible scale rot in retic?

snake_ghost · 05-07-14, 02:06 AM

Hi i got my new retic yesterday! A lovely Sumatran male, But he has a little orange tinge on the sides of his belly. Now then is this possible scale rot, I'm going to try and take some photos of him either today or tomorrow. But have the retic keepers on here experienced anything like this coloration in Sumatrans and scale rot in retics?

Hard to understand what your explaining. If its just some pigment you should be fine. But take pics and we'll tell you.

Well from what people are saying on other forums and fb, That's it's just a simple color that Sumatrans have. But i'll post pics when he settles in.

Post a pic, sounds like normal sumatran colors though. Retics are also fairly resistant to scale rot, isn't something you see too often.
