The pictures I took are of his feet. It looks like he is wearing socks on all 4 of his feet... Not sure why or what is the cause of it. Is it something to be worried about? It doesnt seem to bother him at all, all toes still move and they're arent any colder then usual... He's been under his heat lamp alot because we changed his cage - but this was happening before the new cage. His diet is the same as well as his drinking and such. Please help, I'm worried something might be wrong... Or I hope he's just different...

Hey Lauren The discoloration on his legs/feet looks like he is preparing to shed in that area, nothing to worry about. I was wondering about the dark spot in front of his back leg; it might just be another area that it preparing to shed but its hard to tell from the picture. Thank you for asking about your concerns, Lauren. He sure is a pretty little guy! -Jenna

It seems to be like this all the time though? He does shed alot... And the dark spot I think is just his coloring, he has brown throughout his body. thank you, I do hope he stays this color green! That's why we picked him out haha. I loved his color green & blue by his face.

Sorry Lauren, I just realized you had asked a question. How long has his feet/legs been discolored like that? It can last awhile before he actually does start to shed there but if it has been like that for months then he might be having issues shedding or something else that I'm unaware of. I would recommend letting him swim around in the bathtub for awhile and hopefully the dead skin will soak up enough water and start coming off.

It's not like that all the time, i dont think. I just notice it and feels like alot lol. Hes currently shedding on his feet and tail in the same spots where the discoloration happens. So it would make sense if that would happen that it looks different before a shed. he seems happy and getting his 'tree legs' since he never had to climb things before. he seems alright though thanks again
