Okay so here's my little guy. He's right at two years old weighing around 14 pounds. What do you all think about his shell color? He is outside for 2-4 hours a day. His shell just seems much darker than others on here.
Looks lovely to me.
I think they can vary a lot, quite naturally, from very pale to very dark.
Many Greeks are also a light colour.
But here's my Tidgy.
