Current Problem - Ive been starting to get concerned about his coloring, latley he has been showing alot of browns and even at night hes not the pure lime green he used to be as he sleeps. Ill post a pic of what he looks like when hes sleeping, and one of him when hes just running around the cage. Also I've noticed that a few of his nails seem to be bent outa shape alil bit.

I think your supplementing schedule can do some tweeking, if you are taking him outside you dont need to give him too much calcium with d3, you should use the one without d3 more, and i think vitamins should only be used twice a month once a week is a little much. Oversupplementing can be bad ive heard so try to cut back a bit on the d3 to like once a week and the vitamins to about twice a month, and have a couple of days during the month with no supplements used :)
