Current Problem - I'm not sure if my chameleon is really sick or not, but better safe than sorry! My chameleon is acting normally and is eating, drinking, pooping normally. But his crest (or whatever it's called on top of his head) is pale. Actually his whole head is pale. I don't know if he's normal or not since when I first bought him he was in a darker color, it has been raining lately for the past few weeks, is he too cold? When it rains I put him under a roof though.

Thanks for your time, help is appreciated :)
 
A picture would help.

Isn't he about to shed anyway? Because when they are older, they don't shed the whole body but only parts...
 
Actually, he did shed a couple of days ago. After the shedding process, he returned to his pale color.

PS. I'll try to upload a photo, soon.
 
Maybe the pale color is related to his recent shed. Let's hope for that & maybe we can tell from the picture. Wish I could let mt chameleons get outside everyday, you have a lucky cham.:)
