Both my babies just shed perfectly - finally :)

but i have noticed something on claudias face that worries me. Its like shes lost all the scale colour in front of one eye and the scale there is a pale blue colour - being a crimson that isnt right... there are also little marks round the top of her face as well...

her eye is ok and I cant see anything else anywhere - shes active and her normal self I just dont know why this has happened to her face.

anyone have any ideas?
 
I by no means am a expert but is it possible that its just retained shed on those places? Try putting her in some room temp water and let her swim round for a lil while or take a wet paper towel an dab it to maybe see if it softens an comes off.
 
Check her shed carefully for any missing pieces. It is possible for them to have a few scales that get stuck and don't come off when they shed. Like 1TimeMoM said soak her in luke warm water for about 10-15 minutes then let her run through a terry cloth rag or towel in your hand to see if the pieces comes off. A picture if possible would be nice.
 
Yup, it does sound like she didn't shed the eyecap, especially if that wasn't there before the shed. Good advice above about soaking to remove any remaining bits.
