Would you think they're from animal protein from the food? I used to feed them food that had animal protein but I stopped doing that months ago

The don't hide very well, I just wanted to know if that was normal. I've had them most of them for three months now. Got two of them from my local petco and one of them was given from me from someone I know that got it at south padre a few years back. Pretty sure they're very active at night Sent fr...
