|
my hypo red beardie has lost it's colour lately even after a shed she's very dull. she eats very well infact gawd knows how she eats so much (whole box of large crickets in just 2 minuites amazes me) she gets access to UV 8,0 for at least 12 hours (UV tube is diagonal across back of it's viv floor leval to ceiling) heating is good and she seems happy but her colour is lost. anyone experianced this before

| how long have you had your uvb tub ? its recomended that you change them every 6 months. that might be the reason why shes lost her colour |
