#2266269 Bre&kev View Profile	Red dots? Hey again (Edel I will be taking photos of their bums soon so you can help me sex them like ya said just having some problems with my camera) my question is about chomper and patience...i noticed today after spending time with them individually in the bath that they have some red spots on them. they are inbetween the scales...i rubbed one of them gently with my nail and it came off i showed my fiance and he squashed it with his nail and it burst with what looked like blood? are these mites? if so how can i remove them... chomer was a bright colour as you saw in the photos before, then after she laid her eggs she became quite dark looking but was shedding so i put it down to that, shes still eating and pooping and so is patience her colour is still the same. is there anything i can do? thankyou Bre
