What is THIS?

The pictures are bad but she has red marks on her (looks brown in the photos). Any idea what may have happened? Did she rub against her corkbark hide? The earliest I could get her to a vet would be Monday. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

from here it looks like a tic.

Does look like she rubbed against something...when was the last time she shed? Pink spots on my pied are really noticable at the very, very begining of a shed cycle (on the white parts, obviously)! :)

The black spot looks like a tic to me too.

Yeah, I was thinking tick myself. Have you had any new animals in your collection that might have been wild caught?

It a scale. She has 3 of them like that. They were there when she arrived.

If that's Cypress mulch you have her on, it's probably from that.

It can be either from the bedding rubbing off on her which stained her.

Did you try washing the spot.

Definitely try washing the areas before bringing to a vet. It's always frustrating for people when they bring their herps in because they got vitamin/ calcium powder, hard water deposits, or poop them. No one wants to pay an office fee to have the vet give their herp a bath. ;)

For some reason, I thought most pieds developed random dark scales in their white? Every one I've seen has them. You can see it in this high white pied from NERD:
