Hi, I have a 8 month old female veiled chameleon (translucent). She is VERY small for her age, around 7 inches long from head to tail. Lately, her colors have been looking gray and unattractive... She does not have anything in the room that could stress her, and there have not been any recent...
Your chameleon may be dark because there is something stressful in the room. Do you have any pets? My chameleon was dark because she got stressed when my cats and chickens were around.
Also, I have to warn you about the way these chams are handled by UPS. The guy who delivered my chameleon threw her box onto the front porch... I'm not sure how you can miss all the "fragile", "perishable", and "handle with care" stickers. (The guy got yelled at:cool:)
