Okay, this is a pic of Hades right before we brought him home about 4 months ago:



Now you see where my uber-awesome paint arrows are pointing? Is it normal for those lines on his skin to be permanent. As you can see he looked "dry" when we got him and when we got him home he spent a good 2 weeks soaking in his water dish(no mites,no RI symptoms). Had me extremely worried. Anyway, he then went into blue and gave me the prettiest full shed! I thought maybe those lines would disappear but they didn't. He looks much better now than he does in this pic but those lines are still there. Is it normal? Is it uncomfortable for him? What could it be from? I just don't know! LOL! Maybe I'm just worrying over nothing. He now only soaks every once in a while and it's only for about 10 minutes or so here and there. He spends a lot more time out and about and in view than he used to. Were they caused by something the PO was doing?
