Hi All!

Just curious, does anyone else get such severe color change when they go into shed? He seems to do his head and torso, then his legs and tail, one after the other. First he's wearing a sleeveless hoodie, then all stockings... :lol: But the color change is crazy! Is it just because his normal color is so vivid?

If anyone else has crazy shed pictures, I'd love to see 'em... Thanks!!

that does look super dramatic! (and really...really cool!)

I didn't even know mine was shedding until he started to peel o.o!

I just thought he was light grey when I got him. Turns out he's actually quite brown underneath there.

AHBD- Haha! Those are great! My guy did right around his mouth like that, too! So weird, glad he's not the only one. Your little guys are beautiful, by the way! :)

Glasses- I know, right? He was really dull when I brought him home, I was about to be really upset with the breeder for photo-shopping his sale picture! Then he got nice and bright when it came off, but then the legs started... People kept asking me what the heck kind of lizard he was with totally different colored legs!

I wonder what makes certain bits shed like that? Not like the snake, he goes full monty every time. :lol: Their bodies can't be growing that unevenly, can they...? Hmm, new research project. Anyone have any ideas?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
