Can a baby change color?

deetu Sep 27, 2003 10:32 PM

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.

Both. I downsized it on another site but it will not accept it in the lizard post from there. Saying Error in Get.

I tried putting it direct with the but it accept that either.

Someone offered to post it for me but I want to learn to do it myself. I'm sure it will be simple once I can understand how to.

POst it on shutterfly.com, then save picture as. Then when you post it to the photo gallery, use the newer saved picture, it will be the right size.

Hi
I tried to e-mail you back after your last e-mail, everytime I try (with both of my e-mail accounts) it says the message could not be sent becuase your e-mail is filtering out bulk mail,,,or something like that,it sounds like anytime you get one message it is blocking that e-mail..anyway I posted the picture on here and wrote you a message it looks like you didn't get it though,,I'll post it again for you, you might check out your e-mail though, because both time I wrote you back to answer your questions it just keeps coming back.

Thank you. I'll look into the e-mail. I noticed I had problems sending lately too.

On that note, lil-frogger2 probably couldn't get back to me about posting the pictures because I really do want to learn how. I was able to shrink the picture on another site but when I tried to upload it onto the gallery, it said Error. I thought I would have to download it to me again in order to upload. How would I get it here after I finally get it there? I tried to but it wouldn't take that.

Thanks
