(I refer to is as a "her" for whatever reason)  I have had her for 3 years, she has never shed.  The other day while feeding her I noticed a reddish spot on the side of her body, about even with her fangs.  Just one side, the other side appears to be fine.   My original fear was a mite of some kind, however, on closer examination that does not seem to be the case.  She's still eating fine and appears other wise healthy.  I managed to get some pics, not the greatest quality but you can see it.  Any ideas on what it is, and what I should do to treat it?</blockquote>
