Male Veiled potential problems

I have a veiled male about a year old he was recently put together with a female for a small amount of time. I have since moved her out into her own cage and his colours have not been the same since. He was always very colurful even before she was put in with him. I have recently moved him into a bigger terrarium with a new large plant approx 6feet x 3.5 feet. Everything else seems fine. He is the same colour whether it's day or night and has not returned to his normal colours since she was taken out ( he is now a brownish colour with tinges of green, just a lot more drab generally).. The temperature of the cage is fine and I mist it about 4 times a day so water should not be an issue. He is very active and doesnt seem to have any issues. He is also feeding normally too. Any suggestions?

The only thing i could think of is maybe he is still showing some receptive colors for mating but other than that it could be the move that has him stressed and maybe its taking him some time to get accustomed to.
 
I was thinking it could possibly be the move but he was fine when he first went in and he was colourful for the first week or so. It has been since the female was moved out that he has lost his colours.
 
I will post some tomorrow the lights to his enclosure are off. He is not totally brown he is like a dullish brown/green colour with very faded yellow stripes. a bit more colourful than a basking shade.
