These 2 have always maintained proportions throughout development. Lately, I've noticed one appears to weigh significantly less and color has dulled quite a bit compared to how it used to look. Nothing has changed concerning diet or habitat. This has me concerned. Tried posting a picture here but it won't go!

They tend to lose that "deep" color as they grow, so that may not be an issue. Is it thinning as it lengthens, or actually losing weight (are you scaling it)? If not over fed, they may appear thinner as they grow in length.
