I have a 4 month old veiled chameleon that is recovering from early stages of MBD. We've been giving her plenty of calcium powder since seeing the vet 2 weeks ago, and gut loading the crickets better (mustard greens, carrots, broccoli). In the last week, I've noticed that her baseline coloring is much darker. Is that a sign of growing up? or stress? She becomes light green when she is eating and when she is sleeping. (I'll attempt to post pictures.) I'm wondering if this is normal or not. The other odd thing she did this week was eat like a pig! Usually she won't eat while people are standing around, but for a couple of days she would gobble up the crickets as fast as I could put them in her bowl. It was really cool! Maybe just a growth spurt??
