Abnormal Color in Blk&Wht

tegu_steve Oct 20, 2003 10:36 AM

Hi everyone,

I have a pair of 2yr old tegus. My female started to change colors on her belly from white to a very bright orange. After she sheds it just keeps getting brighter and brighter and has started to creep up on her sides. My male is doing this also. I took them both to the vet and they checked out fine. I was just wondering if any of you have seen anything like this. It started a few months after I got the as hatchlings and I have asked many people about itt but no one seems to know why. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

nothing to worry about. it happens to some tegus, and a lot of people like the orange bellies. there's nothing wrong with them they're just getting more colorful, congrats.
