My little Zippy was a very healthy yellowish tan color a few weeks ago. The head has become very dark and today I see that the legs are beginning to get dark.
Is there a cause for alarm?
Background, I use full spectrum lighting 12 hours a day and a white heat lamp bulb for 12 hours (maintaining 80 degrees via a heater at night). The substrate is Plantation Soil. He moved into a larger home with new substrate about 2 weeks ago. It is the same manufacturer as the substrate in his older home. From handling I do not see that there is a dye of any sort in it.
Is he sunburnt? He's outside for about an hour a day but there is shade available if he wants to move out of the sun. He usually does move after about 30 minutes.
