Hi there,
I have an abott's okeetee. When I got him he was SUPER vivid. Really red/orange/black/yellow. He has already shed and isn't due for another one right now but his color has drastically faded. He is pretty much just light orange all over... I will get some comparison pics soon.
He is eating just fine and seems healthy enough... The only change is his environment. I am in the process of moving into a new place so he is being temporarily housed at my parent's house in a medium sized tub. It is plenty big for him, but is a little smaller than what he has been used to. He has hides, substrate, and plenty of fresh water... Could it be the stress of moving to a slightly smaller home that is causing this color fade?
I have never heard of this happening... any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!
