South American Puffer with white mark

[Yaxley]

Hello everyone,

I need some help with my Puffer, I've just noticed a strange white patch on one of the dark stripes on his left side. It wasn't there this morning and there aren't marks anywhere else. His behaviour is also fine...at the moment at least.

If anyone has any information please let me know! Thanks

Ok it seems to have faded quite a bit in the last half an hour, does anyone know if these little puffers can change their colours and pigments at will?

It could be a small burn from sitting on the heater. My raphael cat used to jam himself under the heater and had a burn in the form of a white stripe.
