Orangy brown flakes of skin,like dander, Greasy Skin.. =\

So 3 of my boys have always kinda had this orangy/brown kinda spatted look on their skin..it always looked odd to me.. they had it pretty much since they were little so I just thought it was ther skin but is that normal? lately its all been flaking off like dander and their skin is the normal pink colour underneathe..could it be dead skin built up? Its greasy aswell.. has anyone had anything like this?

Just buck grease, sounds like.

You could try wiping them down with baby wipes but I'm guessing they are just lazy boys not grooming each other anymore.

Yeah thats what I kinda figured but thought Id ask. They are lazy lol their tails look so gross now.. all the scaly built up eww lol and I dont wanna help them with it cuz they get mad at me LOL they give me a look like "HEY!..thats my tail missy!" :giggle: and their skin has become increasingly greasy I assume because they are getting old (almost 2).. I guess I just have dirty boys LOL :lol:
