Is Forest okay?

[twentyonepilots]

Hello! I just got this lil veiled chameleon a few days ago and I just figured out how to post . I was just wondering if the tan stripes on his lower back are normal? I’m just super worried that they’re burns. Please help. I’m not sure how old he is because I got him from a pet store, but he’s a juvenile.

Those just look like normal veiled marking to me. Is this your first chameleon?
