question for ya'll

I've notice these discolorations on the my orange ghost today, I thought it was poop at first but then i looked closer.she usually has a hot spot of 90 and a cool of low 80s her Humidity is in the 60's she has a retilebasics hide and a water bowl, they looks like copper scales, her belly is clean white there's no discolorations there just on top and some on the sides. her bedding is usually non print news paper.

what's your humidity like? and i'm assuming you've tried to wipe it off, yes? you say her bedding is usually paper: how long ago wasn't it paper, and what was it?

that straight line in the last shot leads me to believe it somehow came about through contact/rubbing...

also that first shot is INCREDIBLY clear! what did you take these with?

I'd also guess it's from contact with something. Did you try wiping it off? On the side like that makes me think it was probably a little blood or rat gunk from coiling. I'm sure it'll go away after a shed and is nothing to worry about.

sounds right. like HannahLou said, just keep an eye out for it and wait for a shed to see if it's gone.
