Could be two factors working towards/against the same results. Aging where the scales fill out and hydration which lack of can shrink/wrinkle or otherwise reduce the sheen.



Here's a series of pix of Amber from birth to present.



This was the first pic I have showing Amber on 08/26/2005, not very clear but you can see Savannah around the water bowl and many of her babies crawling around. Amber is the one on the right side down on the newspaper.



Pic #2 shows Amber much clearer, you can really see her lack of crescents



A cropped closeup of just her from pic 2



When I was putting the individual babies into their own tubs, I saw her and thought "wow, what do we have here?" I had to take a couple of pics right away. You can see she still has her umbilical. Of course I gave her card number 1 from her litter - SA-PO-01





Now it's 09/30/2005, right after her second shed and the blush in her side medalions is starting to show.



11/13/2005 Almost three months old, a week and half after third shed.



12/20/2005, outside in my cherry tree in natural light, WOW, this girl is starting to really glow. BTW, she shed just before these pics were taken.



Another pic on 12/20, inside under incandescent lighting



Two more pics on 12/20, outside again on the sidewalk one showing each side





Two pics from 06/01/2006, new pics for the website launch





07/11/2006, I took this pic with Amber, two Hypo's Dottie is more orange and Mickey is mostly toward the right, towards the left is Hook, one of my bullseyes, in the middle is Amber and toewards the right is Rose. I love this shot as it shows a LOT of variety in colors/patterns.



07/11 again, just Amber



09/04/2006, now just over a year old



11/03/2006, not a great pic but still a great subject



These four pics are from 01/12/2006. She was definately a great choice for holding back.









Two pics from 03/08/2007





One pic from 4/14/2007



Two pics from 06/04/2007
