Is this anything to worry about?
I was wondering if this would be anything to worry about. The spots only appear from about half way down him to his tail (not the black spots, the other stuff). He isn't sitting on the glass where the UTH is. Is it just normal coloration? I was going to try and take him to the vet this week for a checkup since he hasn't had one done.

Re: Is this anything to worry about?
could you tell us more about your set up?
enclosure type, exact cool/warm and ambient temps, humidity, what you're using to measure all of those with, etc?

Re: Is this anything to worry about?
Hot side is typically between 90-92 and cool like is around 85. Hot side measured w/ temp gun and cool side w/ accurite. Humidity is typically between 50% and 60% but stays closer to 50. He is in a 40 breeder tank w/ aspen substrate.

Re: Is this anything to worry about?
that could be early scale rot.
usually starts off with a few brown tinged scales and advances from there.

That's what i'm worried about...I guess when I get home i'll take all his substrate out and put him on paper towels until I can take him to the vet and get a definite.

Honestly, that looks like normal coloration.
Just as a precaution; You might want to apply polysporin (to the area) and switch him to paper towels until his next shed. I bet it's just natural coloring though.
Those temperatures are a little warm for a Red Tail. I wouldn't go above 78-80 ambient, 88-90 basking.

I just went by what the caresheet said for them, but i'll bump his temps down. He just came out of shed 2 days ago and my fiancee is betting on normal coloration because she found spots like that on his sides and everything.

Will do. Like I said, it's only on this part of his body. It might have been there the whole time and I just noticed the other day.
