Gradually Changing Colour

Since about couple of months ago, I noticed Papoe started to change. Not his behaviour, it’s his colour… His carapace colour to be exact.

I always wonder why Papoe was so light, his colour was different with most of his species. I thought it would last…. Apparently I was wrong. He is now gradually becoming darker.

He is currently shedding his scutes and the new ones are darker than before.

However, his platron is still light colour….somehow, in my eyes, it looks more pinkish than before

It is just like Kroten, she had lighter colour and slowly becoming darker.

Papoe might not be as unique as before but he is still much loved by everyone in this house 😊.
