I got a look at her new skin today, and there’s been some sort of injury. On either side of her body, there is an injury that appears to have been bleeding. It is not an open sore, and the scales are formed over it, but there has been blood forced through them and it has formed a hard scar. It could be a heat burn, I suppose, or it could be a crush injury from her getting trapped in something. I haven’t seen her be trapped any time, but with the injury matching on both sides, it has to be a possibility.

Tried a small mouse tonight, expecting her to be hungry now, but no interest at all. This is worrying.
