Hello all. Here's another beginner question.
When I bought Merlin, he had the start of alot of color. I was told he was a Sandfire/Red mixed. He shedded and it seems like his color is darker, more grey now.
He has a UV basking light at a good temperature. Strip aquarium light (the reptile bulb wouldn't work on the aquarium hood so I have to get a new one) Ceramic heat at night. We add carrots to his greens. Am I doing something wrong?
I am still trying to figure out how to post a picture. If I could, I would be able to show you the difference.
