Odd Coloring

[koomer]

Hello; while i was feeding my veiled, I noticed odd coloring on her side. She seemed dark (probably because she was sitting on a dark branch and wanted to blend in) but it had a pale patch. I ran my finger over the area and she didn’t react in anyway, so I don’t believe it’s hurting her. Other than that, she’s been acting normally. Is this something I should be concerned about? I might just have to wait it out, but I wanted to double check with others

im no expert, but to me it just looks like one of her many possible outfits, do you have a laybin for her?

she should be able to lay if she needs to, though i dont believe shes pregnant. shes laid eggs this last summer, and when she did, i could pretty easily tell she was pregnant, since i saw some of the eggs bumps on her belly. she also hasnt been going down to investigate the dirt at all. it’s probably nothing to worry about; my anxiety just always needs to double check things haha :^)

That’s normal coloration.

Respectfully, chameleons do not have the ability to adjust their color to blend in.

What’s up with her casque?

Is it me or does she look a bit thin?

I agree she does, also her casque looks a bit off and it looks like some back spikes are missing. May just be the pics...OP I know you asked about coloration but is there any way you can share some more info with us about her husbandry? Lights, temps, feeding, supplements specifically?

edit: just read about the thermal burn back in Feb pls disregard.

she had a thermal burn on her casque and some of her spikes months ago. it caused part of her casque to fall off

ill be honest, when she had her eggs, she had quite a few (49 i believe) and so i thought i might be overfeeding her. but now i might be feeding her too little; i actually was worried about this a few days ago when i was looking her over. ill be sure to start feeding her more

How much are you feeding her now?
When did she lay the eggs?
How are you supplementing/dusting?
What do you feed/ gutload the insects with?
What UVB does she get?
