changing colors throughout the day??? Freddy pics...

reps-r-us Oct 15, 2003 03:34 PM

Freddy changes his coloration throughout the day.
He has 3 main colors. Most of the time he is in his orange mode, where his body is a nice bright gold color and he has tangerine color splashed all over.
Sometimes he will look more red, where his body is more of a beige and he has dark orange/reddish splashed all over.
Then a few times he will look extr. dark, usually before shedding, but sometimes for no part. reason.
Here are two pics that show the orange and the red phase.
I understand diff. lightening makes a difference in pics, but he actually does look like in those 2 pics.
Btw. i finally got my butterworms in...strange little things they are.
In the foodbowl they immediately started to "cocoon"...spin threads all around. So when Freddy went to eat them, he had "strings" hanging from his mouth..lol.

orange phase:

red phase:

Which color do you think will he end up with?

If i were to look for another beardie, I would definitely go back to you.
It is not just that Freddy is starting to look like a Apricot, lol, but he was so sweet right off, already tame and with a character to die for....
The nice color is just a bonus...
