Hi, I just noticed a weird line on my female western hoggie. I found a pic from about 2 weeks ago and it was there then, but in no earlier pics. What do you think?





the two week old pic:

looks like minor scale damage. How long has she had it for or have you only just noticed it? Is there anything in the housing that the hoggie could have scraped along or anything like that?

Yeah there was this coral thing that she used as a hide, but grew out of. I took it out of her tank after I caught her getting stuck in it! That's what I'm thinking it was...

Also I only just noticed it. It seems she's had it for about two weeks.

Its possibly that. She should shed out most of the damaged scales. It may take a few sheds xx
