Issey is getting darker around the head

moko Sep 27, 2004 06:38 PM

I have no idea why so of course i think he has some horrible skin darkening disease. I noticed yesterday a few dark brown spots on his chin which is normally white with dark tan spots and then his beautiful bluegreen dewlap. Now the entire area seemsto be darkening.I have looked at it very closely and can not see a thing. His head seems cloudy so I'm thinking, "Is this what they look like when they shed." I would like this to be the explaination.Please let me know what you think.

Sounds like it. Just give it a few more days and see !
The cloudy or dull look is definietly what it looks like before.
Some of my lighter yellow girls do tend to look darker before also.

Just watch, and see if he sheds, before getting to concerned
