Duller Colors

[Haligren]

For the last few days I've noticed Tiamat's coloring is a little off. It's not fading like she's going into shade - her colors just look duller, almost like there's a slight brown or sepia tone to it.

Is this the beginning of a shed perhaps and I just haven't noticed it before. She is overdue, although I suspect she's had one shed where I didn't notice. She is eating normally (had a super worm today and then tomorrow or the day after that she'll have three or four as is her recent pattern). And her poop looks normal as well. She's also taken to her new cool hide - Exo Terra Repti-Den for the past two days or so. Could it be that it's just cooler in there and that's affecting her colors? The cool side of the tank is about 80 now and the warm side is 86. Spot over the UTH is about 92-95.

Any ideas?

Has she been staying on cool side lately?

Yeah. She really likes her new hide. lol

Same things happening to June Bug...He's been in his moist hide on the cool side all the time, almost every time I look, but he doesn't look like he's going to shed.

Must be the season. She's still eating though. So until she stops I won't worry. I was just curious as to what was causing it. Why do their colors dull if they stay in the cooler side for a long time?
