Beautiful chams! Worried a little about Picasso though. Looks like his back is being burnt?

I don’t see anything. He doesn’t have a heat lamp right now since the room he’s in is really warm during the day, so I’m not sure how he would get burnt. That’s just his coloring. He does have black and darker spots. It’s part of the pied bald. I appreciate your concern though!

Interesting, his little spikes along his back look like they are black and bulbous, rounded, not spikey.
May just be the pic I guess so glad if that's the case.
I've got piebald too
understand the potential odd markings

So today I noticed the iris of Picasso’s right eye is all black and the iris of his left eye is normal. Looked back at the pictures I took on the day we brought him home and they were like that. I’m not sure how I hadn’t noticed until now lol. Is this part of the translucent gene kinda like in bearded dragons?

I don't know anything about piebalds but I would guess that it could possibly change. @Andrew1283 you have a translucent ...what do you think?

I have no idea about the effect of the piebald’s gene on iris color but it’s definitely possible. If he can track insects like normal then it’s no problem. Humans can have very dark irises too without any sight issues. He’s beautiful! His casque is swept back like a dolphin’s dorsal fin lol and he looks like someone just shoved his face in snow. I’m no real help here haha just compliments and crazy statements

I thought this article was interesting. By breeding piebalds, cham breeders may run into some bad genetic mutations.
