scale rot may not be, but there are enough other things that are contagious. :/

seconding the better lighting.. your shadows should always have a neutral value if you're trying to show something as it is.

ok I tried some different lighting and played around with the white balance on the cam to get as close to as possible how he looks.
I used aome natural light from a window and the first pic he is still a little more brown than in person. The second and third are just slightly too grey but are the closest. So he is inbetween the two shades you see, leaning more to the greyer side. Middle pic on my comp is the closest.

That is a huge difference between the photos...

The first one leads me to believe that it is a normal, but the other two are Axanthic.

With the play of the camera lighting, I don't know what to believe anymore...

the first one is still more yellow, i took that one without adjusting the white balance. I wish i could get the true color on camera but am having a hard time. Imagine the last 2 with just a slight bit more brown to them. Maybe ill try filiming him.

so I tried to tape him and the video also make him look more brown (makes the cabinet hes on more brown too, its oak and looks more like redwood in this vid)so I give up trying to show him. Ill just wait till I breed him, get a female and breed it back to him. If I get grey babies then hes a axanthic. If not he is a neat looking normal.

YouTube - Mystery morph?

Does not look Axanthic to me.

There are a lot of animals that 'appear' Axanthic due to malnutrition. Feed him every week for a couple months and I'll bet he'll get normal coloration back.

Seeing this I have to say no..doesn't look at all like an axanthic

With the last 2 pics I wasnt sure, but by the video I would say no... Sorry, But who knows! good luck!

From the Video, the answer is no...

Sorry :confuzd:

like I said the vid has a color difference too. Our oak cabinet looks like redwood. In person he just doesnt look normal, especially when compared to a normal.Ill know when I breed him.
