Recently bought a sphodromantis lineola.
She shed successfully within days of setting her up in her enclosure, however recently she has developed some dark markings on both her legs, side of her abdomen and her eyes have now turned entirely dark on the front (the back is still green) - i had thought the marks were brown however on closer inspection, they seem to have turned a reddish purple?. I have kept this species before but never encountered this on them.
Google is suggesting fungal infection as a cause, could this be the case? if so, what would you recommend me doing to improve her habitat and minimise fungal infection?
She's very active (especially today, she's been roaming around her tank constantly) and has been actively feeding the last few days (has not been offered food today so I am uncertain if she is still currently eating). As i write this she's currently off exploring again so honestly baffled by if its a need for worry or not?
