My question/concern is, I've heard its hard to tell when an AMEL is in/out of blue before shedding. I was wondering if any of you corn fanatics have any pictures of this "blue" stage...

A little while ago OPdeepT posted a question about Amel's in blue.

Samson, had just gone into blue at the time. He went underground on Sunday (his usual routine when in blue) but little bits are peeking through the Aspen bedding so I snapped a couple of pics tonite to show.

This is his normal color.

This is how pale he is tonite

I expect some time on the weekend he will come out and be hungry, then he'll shed. Or, I'll come home and a bright, beautiful, much bigger Samson will be proudly romping about his Viv minus his old skin.

In the meantime he's just loving his UTH and being very quiet. I actually poked him gently to be sure he was still okay....lol
 
Thanks a ton....rep headed your way!
I also have an Amel..he is just a baby though, and definitely does not turn that pink/pale color before a shed...but it is reassuring knowing that one day it will be easier to tell when he is in blue!

Thanks again!

You're welcome. I think a picture paints a thousand words. It is harder when they are younger. It would be right toward the end before it would click with me that he was in blue.

Now the change in color comes over just a few days.
It's hard to imagine a week ago he was bright and vibrant.

Isn't the whole shed process amazing... well, I think everything about these beautiful creatures is amazing.
