My Veiled Cham Lola is 8 months old. Up until a few days ago she has always been a lovely bright green with occasional darker stripes. Then, a few days ago, she started displaying partial green with brownish color as well. She seems pretty normal as far as alertness and eating, but the color hasn't waivered. Does anyone know why this is?
