Hi all. My AFS just molted a few weeks ago for the first time with me and I’ve noticed that he has had a brown spot on part of his tail. I waited three weeks from the molt before feeding him (which was last night) and now this morning, he has that same color brown on the back 1/3 roughly of his upper side. Is this normal or do I need to be worried? It’s about the same color as his underside actually. He never had this issue before his molt and I was out of town when he did it but it all seemed to have come off fine, but this discoloration has had me a little concerned. It was just on his tail at first and now it’s spread down to the back half of his body which has me more worried. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Can you try and get some clearer pictures? Can't really see anything.
