i dont have an answer for you, but if it comforts you, i noticed one of my guys turning lighter during the same time it started shedding, maybe its a coincidence, im sure someone will have more insight

I also think they are pyramiding
why?

[BiteyBits]

They will change color naturally. When I go mine they were bright hatchling green, now they are a darker green and yellow. If they are pyramiding then lower the protein in their diet and make certain they have good calcium and a proper backing area. Posting a picture would help.

its common and happens to turtles after growing. my baby used to be a dark green and now changed to something of what is brown at the moment. shes about 3 years old and went from a dark green to a dark brown

At 4 months you can't sex them.
