Mandarin troubles

[GoPhish]

My Mandy is seemly healthy all day, eats pods all day. Color looks amazing all day. And then at night turns this ugly discolored blotchy color. Only to return to it's beautiful self the next day. Does this every night. Is he ok?

It's sleeping in a sort of mucus "cocoon", they all do it.

Mine scared the bejeebers out of me when I saw that the first time. No worries.

Mine does the same thing, scared me the first time i saw it. I thought it was dead. But its normal, mine does it every night. No need to worry.
