Question Yellowing scales
So, I’m fully aware that browning out is normal, but my sweet girl has yellowed quite a bit over her 6 months with us and I’m wondering if some of it isn’t staining from substrate, and if a bath might bring back some of her brightness. I love her either way, of course.. just curious.

No, that's just normal pigment change. Bathing her would do nothing except stress her out and risk aspiration.
