Red Spots On Paper Towel/Smelly Tub

[cowana]

One of my oldest hatchlings, Screech, always has red spots (actually kinda orange-ish) on the paper towel in her humid hide. It isn't blood... I have checked her over numerous times. I guess it could be mealworm but she eats them out of her dish every time I've watched her.

Also, her tub has a stronger "dirty" order than my other geckos. It is noticeable as soon as you pull her tub out, but isn't with the other 6 hatchlings.

She is in a 6qt Isis tub back-heated at 92F. She eats mostly mealworms now but started on roach nymphs, and is a pig. Food dusted with Repashy Calcium Plus. I haven't weighed her for a bit but she is growing like a champ. Normal poop with solid brown and white urate.

She hatched on 3/26/15 and I will get a current weight as soon as possible.

Anyone know why she is having these spots and smell? Does it warrant a vet visit? She seems completely healthy otherwise.

One of the ingredients in the Repashy plus is paprika. I think I've seen this too with some of my geckos. Maybe s/he just poops it out, or makes such a mess with feeders and such that there are smears of supplement around and the paprika shows up?

She's smearing the ingredients of the calcium w/D3 or vitamin supplement you have in there and it's getting wet.

I also see this with the Repashy calcium plus, especially with my messier geckos. =)
