Hello Everyone, I have come on here looking for abit of advice as i am really worried about my new chameleon ziggy, he was delivered to me wednesday night at half past twelve, & he was fine, until yesterday tea time he went a light brown colour with his normal colours very faintly showing, yesterday he ate 9 crickets and was drinking really well and he even did a poo for me, today the same again he has eaten well and drinking well, but still he is staying this light brown colour and its starting to really worry me as he is my first chameleon and i just don't want him to be unhappy as i have fell head over heels in love with him, his temps in his viv are currently at 85f and i have also been spraying his enclosure every couple of hours!
Please can someone help because it is really making me sick with worry
Thanks
Asha
