It was brought to my attention how very dark my Ibera is. His color seemed normal enough as a baby and has gotten darker as he's gotten older. The color change happened slowly over the last 6 years and now he's nearly solid black. I read that iberas from the mountainous regions tend to be darker. I was wondering if anyone else had a tortoise like mine or any other information or ideas on his coloring. Here's are 6 months/6 years pics of my guy.
