Why are some GTPs "shinyer" than others??

Hello!
I see all these photos of BRIGHT yellow or green GTPs, and they all seem so bright and shiny almost... like they have been clear coated ro something

Mine is sort of a dullish "matte" yellow / green mix..
Is there something I am doing wrong?? Its like she looks like she is going to shed all the time.. but that isnt the case because she is a good shedder....

Could be many reasons, maybe its the lighting that you are veiwing your chondro from. It could be that you are thinking of the "High end" critters and you have a more ordinary (a relative term in GTP's) animal.

Could be a thousand reasons really.

Maybe she has not entirely completed her change.

My GTP was SUPER shiney when we got him but now as he has started changing more (yet slowly!) he is dull looking all the time.
