Ricochet, my supposed female, has startedt o turn a dark green on her shell and her skin. I Was wondering if this is anything to worry about. I remember that there are some turts that turn completely black, but that was only with males right?
Color changes are normal occurances. It all depends on the genes and the environment. The turt should turn dark after being in an environment with UV after a while. Like how people get darker as they stay in a place with heavy sunlight (no not sun burns but melanin adjusting to the environment). Could you show us a pic? But I believe that its entirely normal. Most do not stay green as when they were just hatched.
