Reply To: What does this colour mean??

Overall his cage is really nice and his color is acceptable. He is not highly stressed, but may not be completely relaxed either. Given that you’ve only had him a week, there is no need for concern yet, and if he is a proper little character, then that is really excellent. If I had to guess, I would say that you might get a brighter color out of him eventually if his basking spot was a little warmer. 81F max seems a little cold to me. See if you can get that spot up to 87 for a couple of days, and observe his reaction.

AB…do you concur?
