I got a baby veiled chameleon last Tuesday for my birthday and when I got him he was light green. I feed him medium crickets about 4-6 per day depending if they are gone my the time I go to bed? Every other day I put a thin coating on the crickets with calcium and D3. When I woke up this morning I found him in a darker shade of green when I went to feed him. Is this normal? I am using a ZooMed Double Dome with a UVB bulb and a Heat Bulb. The thermometer has a reading of 80 degrees F and the research I have done says thats good. I have lots of research and just want to make my chameleon as happy and healthy as possible! Thanks and please help me find out what is wrong with him!![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
