Scale discolouration
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2021 12:18 pm
Hello everyone!
Newbie member here!
I came to the bts community to ask a question about my 7 month old female (I’ve tried my best to sex) merauke skink. I’m worried about the colour of her skin changing. I’ve read forums that have previously said that discolouration is rarely to do with illness but is most likely involved in basking temps/ humidity and shedding. I will post a picture below of how she is looking right now. She has shed her scales three times while she has been within my care but I feel like she has never been this pale / dark. Is she okay? Is there anything out of the ordinary here?
