Shedding color differences photos

Postby Lunaire » Tue May 01, 2012 7:54 pm

My little 7 month old Northern started shedding today, and this is the first time I have seen him in any other color since his arrival. :shock:

His back is where the shedding has come off. His head and tail are still in the original brown that continued across his back before. But now it's orange. Nature is really amazing. :)
