        Good job, thanks! The orange tint is the lighting? Posted 14 years ago

          I think because flash was used to take this photograph, it might be causing the orange alteration Posted 14 years ago

    Not really... if you check out this link, you'll find they're no very green. Maybe their pigment is adaptable? Not sure. http://www.flickr.com/photos/36521977367@N01/3032620124 Posted 14 years ago
