Black tinted skin during brumation

[RobertD]

This is my girls first brumation and I was wondering if this is normal or not. I get her out atleast once a week to give her a bath to hydrate her. When I get her out her skin has a black tint to it all over. During the course of the bath it fades, and once I get her out of the bath she is back to her normal coloring.

Haven't gotten a picture of it and I just gave her a bath today and it does take a bit for the black tint to come back after she is done with her bath.

They tend to change tint like that as they change temperature (a warm bath in this case) or if they are trying to absorb or deflect light. I'm not sure about it specific to brumation, but it's pretty normal for them to change colors like that.

Alright, thanks Cooper. I was thinking that it was probably normal, but wanted to make sure.
