    Albino issues
    I have an albino male that I have owned for about a month. He has been doing great and recently shed. This shed was weird. I wouldn't say it was a bad shed since his whole body went into shed but he didn't roll it off like normal. Instead it was like he rubbed his back against his hide and a stripe down his back, from his nose to tail was shed free and his sides still had shed on them. I put him in a warm bath and the rest of the shed came off easily without needing any further assistance.

    When drying him off I noticed his vent and spurs seemed irritated and red (although kinda looks like there is a tiny piece of shed still attached). When looking closer I saw some of the ends of his scales were red tinted. I have never seen this before and curious to what it could be. He seems happy and healthy, maybe it is something he has always had and I hadn't noticed. If anyone has any idea or suggestions on what it could be it would be greatly appreciated.
