Dark colors and stress marks

[EmpNortonII]

I have never seen my lady bug that dark the only thing she gets are the outlined ovals like the ones pogie is showing, but all you can see are the outlined ovals not dark inbetween.....I think she is always like this does pogie go "creamie white" for you.

Croaker has gotten that dark before. Sometimes, it's just hunger before his morning feeding. Sometimes, he wants to be handled. It's all so very hard to figure out sometimes...

There are all sorts of degrees to colorations/stress marks. Stress marks on the belly (the ovals) will show up anywhere from moderately warm/comfortable to cold/frightened in different shades.
