when i got my leo (from a breeder) her design was very dark, but now her darker design is faded, as the yellows and browns are the same, she is only 4 weeks old, i got her 2 weeks ago, she is also gaining some spots, but not a lot. i have the proper lighting, and she eats (3-4 crickets) regularly and seems to never be stressed. temp good, also on paper towels. She is in a 10G all to herself with plenty of room to move around and climb. (she loves every inch of it, she is an explorer) 2 burrows: 1 wet, 1 dry, 1 bowl water. Her darker designs got lighter less than a week after i got her. the place she usually hangs out in us a clear plastic tuperwear dish,covering her but the light can get through... is she trying to shed? whats going on?

-ignorance is not to be punished when one is trying to gain knowledge...what scares me is the vast number of people who, when given the information to gain knowledge, choose to ignore it.
i hope to get pictures posted soon for advice, i do have before and after photos. yes i know her color will change but, in 4 days she loses all her dark purples so that she almost looks albino?
