Hello, got this little dragon here Chromie. It appears when she sheds(not often she has stayed pretty small thus far pretty young hatched in april22) she looses a lot or all of the color in the spot she shed sometimes. Happened to her chin / face (looks like it's covered in white cheese from eating too much pizza) and then she has developed a dark bandana on her head looks like a ninja turtle, well her head changed to a lighter mellow shade of yellow diff from her body and dropped the dark spots. Wondering is this is from change in diet or whatever. She also looks like she is gonna molt and doesn't as well.. also she has been cheating on Gary with some strange alligator cobra thing has developed a soft fuzzy shell! tres bizzaro.. :shock: sup wit dat¿

Shedding can certainly alter their color/appearance a bit. Sometimes the color comes back bright after the shed is done, sometimes not. Their color does tend to change as they get older too and sheds can take longer to finish. That may be what you're seeing. Based on the photos it looks normal and I don't see signs for concern.

I dunno about that! Growing a turtle shell seems like might be an issue! ;)
You might want to take a second look CooperDragon. ;)
LOL! ?

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
