I was looking through my pics of Tiger from when I first got him and looking at him now he is soooooooooo dark. His skin isn't a rich caramel color anymore it is a darker muddy brown. I have been using Eco Earth and orchid bark (used to use cypress mulch before) and I am 100% sure it is substrate related.
I soaked tiger for a good hour today and after his soak I used wet cotton swabs and rubbed off the underside of his shell, the top of his head, and his feet and holy cow the cotton swabs where saturated in the nasty muddy color.
Is there anything I can do to help with this? I know it is not life threatening, but i am OCD about the overall health and appearance of my animals. It drives me crazy. (If pics are needed I can upload once I get home)
