 Skin/Health Problem??

My Uro suddenly has started to turn from a bright yellow to a very pale yellow. It has affected the entire tail and about 1/2 the body right now. She seems to be acting OK and eating. Can anyone help me?? Thanks!

A cloudy or hazy appearance is probably due to shedding. In the case of shedding, do not be alarmed when thin layers of dead skin start coming off.

Sounds a lot like shedding soon... My Uros get almost a gray-ish coloring before shedding. Don’t be worried it it takes days, or even weeks, for a full shed. My babies usually shed faster, but my adult male took a few weeks to go through a full shed, and his tail still isn’t finished.
