lately i've noticed that scooter's carapace isn't looking like it used to, and i'm wondering if it's part of his normal growth (he eats like a teenager, and has been growing like one too) or if it's an indicator of some health or diet problem. it almost looks like the scutes are turning inside-out. he eats frogbit, squash, spinach, collards, escarole, romaine, crickets, dried mealworms, frozen and dried bloodworms, dried krill, and reptomin baby pellets.

He looks good to me. It's normal for them to look like that while growing. He will also shed some of his scutes too which is completely normal.
 
alrighty then. glad to hear it.... i was just getting worried about the shape ^_^
 
thank you ^_^ scooter is way, way too photogenic.... he's the subject of the POTM, too ^_^
