Dark Colors

[tigermaniac22311]

My 4 month old female veiled sits on a brown branch while she basks. Is it normal for her to be brown while she perches? I know dark colors usually mean they are upset but she turns bright green at night when she sleeps on a green vine.
Her is a picture of her. She also just started shedding today.

They turn darker while basking to absorb more heat. It's normal.

Ok just making sure because she is usually basking right there when I get home from school everyday. I'm just a little paranoid I am not doing enough for her. I will post some more pics tonight when she is about to go to sleep.
