[jntn]

hatchling:

a month ago:

today after shedding:

she turned white. is this normal?

Are you sure she already shed?
She looks like before shedding and not after shedding.

I am 100% sure because I helped her shed.

Her loosing all the color on her tail within a month would have me a little concerned for her health. She looks beautiful, but that's a short amount of time to loose a lot of color...which is can be indicative of illness.

She had a hard time shedding, maybe that's related? I dont really know. She's still active though. I'll try to observe her more.

I've had an enigma do that, start out hypo tangerine, and turn very pale with only faint tangy highlights...she's not an enigma, is she? Mine's healthy, except for breeding himself scrawny, at the moment. Sometimes they just change dramatically. Did you switch supplements or anything?

She's not an enigma. Both her parents are sunglows. Same supplements from hatchling until now. I dont really know what happened she just turned pale/white.

Hehe. Shes just around 4 months old so I dont think its related to breeding. BTW can you help me ID which albino she is? The seller told me that both her parents are sunglows and that the albino is tremper but Im not so sure. Do I have to test breed to know?

Looks Bell to me based on the eyes, but I would get a better opinion lol

 

[100yan]

I would say she is a Tremper Sunglow.
It is really strange that phenomenon with the color change. It also interesting that she keeps some orange zones/spots...

 

[lillith]

The eyes look enigma-ish to me...and the eyes do look Bell-like at first, but I think maybe they're Tremper?
Any way to get a better shot of the pupil, like in a dark room with a flash?

Looking over her first pics again, I'm almost positive she's a Bell.

 

[100yan]

It is true that there is a pinkish hue around the pupil, but the general background of the iris is grayish, and that is why I think she's a Tremper.
I post bellow a picture of my Sunglow Bell for comparison (the whole eye has a pinkish tint).

I took the eye pictures in the dark using flash. Thats the best I can come up with

The changing of color is really strange. But what keeps me positive that she is healthy is that she retained some of her colors which can mean that she just changed colors. But 1 month is fast for a color to change. Hope theres nothing wrong with her

New update! I tried hand-feeding her for the first time and her strike was off, way off. Could this mean that shes an enigma? She doesnt show any other enigma symptoms other than the eye/strike feeding response was inaaccurate. I asked the seller and he told me that both her parents are sunglows and all her siblings are normal sunglows. She doesnt look like an enigma. How is that possible?

 

[UnicornSpirit]

I always can't help but thing ENIGMA when I see odd blotches of color paired with strange-colored eyes.

She can just miss. Not just enigmas miss. I had a young blizzard for a while and he was awful at catching crickets or anything for that matter. Or it's another sign for her not being healthy

I understand that they might have a hard time with crickets because the crickets are moving. The mealworm I used to feed her with a forcep is not moving at all. Maybe she has a bad aim. I dont know whats up with her
