hello, ive seen one of my midas is fading. however, it is fading to white .. is it normal? arent midas supposedly fade to orange first then white? im still a newbie on these guys btw. im afraid tht it might just be losing its scales rather than fading.. lol
here is a pic of it.. :)

Perfectly normal specimen. They can fade from anywhere from white, every shade of orange to almost red, pink and yellow. Many stay with dark spotted areas.
 
The Midas complex has many color variants, they do not all fade to pink/orange, some do not totally fade, some do not fade at all, some turn white.
Yours is fading normally, but may end up quite unique compared to the generic type.
I must say I prefer those that only partially fade, and those that don't fade at all, but that's just me.
 
thnks guyys . :) this guy faded the earliest than the others. the others still havent shown any signs of fading. an early bloomer perhaps. :)
and hey duanes, why do u say tht mine may end up quite unique compared to the generic type?

btw, this is a comparison btween my biggest and most agressive midas, and my fading midas.
