I think we have some colour change!! Pics

So my GTP Jade has just shed about a week ago and today I noticed her colouration, I think she's starting the change from yellow neonate to green sub adult!!

More info on her/him (still unsexed):

probably close to 2ft in length and eats mouse hoppers once every 5-7 days we're currently trying to get Jade on rats but s/he is being stubborn, her temps and humidity are proper due to light bulbs and a Monsoon Misting system with Jade there have always been perfect sheds s/he is handled minimally and is a little viv defensive but a beautiful creature

I have decided that I will keep track of her colour change on this thread


Thanks for reading my post I hope you all enjoy watching my little GTP change as much as I do!

So how does this change normally occur?

its a gradual change right now its just her head that has a green tinge it doesn't necessarily happen with each moult (I could be wrong but I thought I read it somewhere) and it can take a number of months to complete

Re: I think we have some colour change!! Pics

Mine has been in color change for over a year. He is a Biak and about 1/2 green right now. I love watching them shed and seeing all the new patterns and shapes of color!

Re: I think we have some colour change!! Pics

Mine took about three sheds to go from vibrant yellow to vibrant green, in between he looked a disgusting browny yellowy greeny colour that was awful. Like a teenager with acne!!

^^^^ First thing I noticed was the green "patina." Like a precious metal.

He is an Aru type - htere were a few odd scales that changed previous to the big change but once it got going noticably it was very quick!
