I was just looking at this post on the FB group. Looks like it's just been running it up against something and maybe it's irritated?

To be honest that could be anything from natural colour developing, through staining from something it ate (fruit?) to something to worry about.

Keep an eye on it.

Looks like he's bumping his nose on the wall of his enclosure.

So this is weird but, it seems like she can make her nose turn red...I've seen it red and then it changes to be back to her normal color and then it may be red again...She's eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, everything is normal...but it's very odd. She was in her soaking dish today with a red nose and we watched it go right back to normal coloring within a few seconds...I will try to get a video, but it just seems odd. Any ideas?
