I have a baby leopard tortoise who we just noticed is turning black! I got her mid September..they said she was about a month old so hatched maybe August sometime? That puts her about 8 or 9 months old I think. 20190510_125800.jpg 20190510_125755.jpg 20190510_125808.jpg 20190510_125725.jpg

Have you ever noticed that the cutting board you use to chop up vegetables eventually stains black? Same thing is happening to your baby's face. It's some sort of plant juice oxidation.
