Leo getting darker

kk Oct 24, 2004 10:31 PM

Hello everyone, I have had this SHCT for about two months. I have noticed though, since i got her, she is becoming a little darker, it is mostly just her back though, where all the yellow is. Some of it is becoming dark, and with no light on her she kinda looks a little brown, is this normal for super hypo? can the darkness go away after a shed?

thanks

Karl K

My tang does that. It's mostly during the day though while she's sleeping. She always goes back to normal though. If she's permantly like this it could be stress or wrong temps.
