The yellow underside of him is not dirt, it is scent gland oil that he would use in the wild to mark his clan. They have a gland right in the middle of their chest. It is difficult to alleviate the smell, but many people have stated that neutering cuts down the smell significantly. If you don't plan to breed that may be an option. Do you have other gliders with him or his he alone?
