well, here's the problem: it varies *soooo* much from ig to ig that a pic wouldn't help you much ... some igs get very very orange all over ... iZ usually limits it to his sides and hands ... once he went into season the first time, he decided he likes the orange coloring and so is always a bit orange now ... during season tho, the orange patches get darker + brighter ... but! that's just what iZ does ...
i would say that if you've noticed a color change within the last week AND he's deveoping an attitude problem, you've got a hormonal ig! be careful during this time! pay very close attention to his bobbing, posturing, etc and take it seriously! if he's giving you messages to leave him alone, Leave Him Alone! the last couple years, iZ would usually get over the worst part of it in 3-4 days ... he didn't want to be social *at all* but after that, he'd tolerate me ... a little ...
oh ... Throw The Lettuce OUT! it's got zero nutritional value and is worthless ... get some nice collards or mustard greens!
good luck! watch your back!!!
Bon.
