He doesn't have red or orange color(

Just looks like he's about to shed. The colour might come out after he's finished shedding, or it might not. Someone else might know whether or not it's actually an axanthic.

Hello Debb - just curious how long have you had your Bluey? Do they seem to be eating well with good activity? I don't know exactly why, but something is standing out with the tail being quite slim, with the indentation behind the back leg & tail looking strange to me. I'm presuming you're already giving him calcium and D3 supplements?

I know that he won't be terribly active until he's fully shed, but keep watch on his appetite after as a 'just in case' :)
