Colour Change?

Here are a few more pic's of where my childreni has the mark in previous thread (Samantha Pics). She has it in about 12 diferent places some are big others small, the pic's don't really show it well as it's really white and orange like the first pic but the others were hard to get photos of becuase if i didn't use flash it was all blury but when i did it washed the colours away, but still gives you the idea.
Could it be calico as someone sugested? also it can't be a burn she never went near lights, and theres none on the under belly, it's smooth, just like her normal scales only a diferent colour, theres no scale damage at all. It's on her back, and on both sides in various positions.





It's hard to see in the next 2 photos but look close.






And my male that should be doing the job on her this year, i've observed him 'spuring' her the first day they were in together.


Let me know what you think.
Snow!

Blood vessels popping or being damaged results in a bruise, but because it's internal there is no surface bleeding, just colour change.

Correct me if I'm wrong?

Correct!
Bruise: A bruise or "contusion" is an traumatic injury of the soft tissues which results in breakage of the local capillaries and leakage of red blood cells. In the skin it can be seen as a reddish-purple discoloration that does not blanch when pressed upon. When a bruise fades it becomes green and brown as the body metabolizes the blood cells in the skin. It is best treated with local application of a cold pack immediately after injury. Also called a contusion.

the marks look oily in the pics especially in the last one, looks cool.
they also look like a blister, an air bubble in the skins layers??? but as you said its nothing to do with burns, might be an age thing?

Had something similar on my childrens awhile ago which I put down to minor pigmentary changes however it went after a shed or two, while yours seems to be getting more advanced. Mine wasn't from a burn either.

Will be interesting to see how it develops.

Surely that would cause burns to her ventral scales and not on her side though.
