Hi guys, I didn't know if this was normal or not so I just wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem.

I took Dubu outside for the first time today with his harness. I just kept him on my chest to introduce him to the outside world a bit.

He didn't black-beard me or anything, but he turned EXTREMELY dark. He's usually a bright yellow-orange, but some parts of his back seemed almost black, and even his limbs were dark. He usually doesn't ever turn that dark, even when basking. It was the darkest I had ever seen him.

Was he stressed from being outside? Or did he just turn dark because he was absorbing actual sunlight? He didn't get mad at me, but he was just really dark and it kind of scared me :cry: :cry:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
