This is Allie I have had her for a little over 3 years,I have seen a lot of pics of emys emys and I have 3 others and they are all solid brown in color,She always looks dirty but that is her color, I attached one wet pic and one dry pic. Has anyone else seen these markings on an emys emys? She is 14 inches long,

Bubbaloo has that marble color when he is wet as well and has the same color on his head and neck like a tarnished color.

Any idea how old she is? She is very pretty.

My little male is that color:

It looks like he might have been brown when he was a hatchling and all the new growth was black. The original shell is brown. Hard to see in the picture. Its still zero dark thirty here and too cold to get him wet. No sun yet.
