Do the colours mean anything?

[mrnice]

Hi,

Ive noticed that my baby yemen is on average a medium green. When obviously distressed he puffs up, turns darker and displays black dots/stripes, when put on his favourite sticks near the TV he turns a very vibrant green, almost yellow with yellow flashes down his sides.

Are his colours a good gauge of his mood and if so what other displays should I be aware of?

Cheers

Yes....

Colors vary depending on mood and temperature.... When stressed may times they will show dark or darker colors... and when happy or relaxed they tend to show a lighter range of colors.

They will also darken themselves on occasion to absorb heat if they are cold as darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors.
