Hello. When I first started taking Gwaners out in natural sunlight (with shade available) his head started turning dark brown. I came to this forum and asked about it. I am not sure if your ig turned this way inside his enclosure, or outside in the sunlight. It was explained to me that his skin was getting darker in order to attract heat or the sun. Kinda like a dark shirt gets hotter in the sun, than a white shirt. Hope this helps, Yvette
