So I just recently got a chameleon (valentine's day). He's a veiled chameleon, not exact on his age but I'd imagine under 6 months of age as he still looks quite small and I believe they told me he was a juvenile.
About 45 minutes ago I went to check on him and I noticed he was very dark, not quite black but close. I immediately freaked and started thinking of reasons why. His cage temp was in the high 70's and his humidity level was in the low 50's. I had fed him about an hour earlier but I don't think he ate any crickets though last night he ate a ton (around 10). I turned the fan on in the room he's in because it did feel very hot which brought his temp down to the low 70's and I misted him so his humidity level is around 70%. His eyes don't look sunken in at all but his skin looks pretty dry. He's also not too lethargic, he didn't move for a little bit but when I misted the cage he took off like a bat out of heck and I've noticed him a moving a decent amount.
Here a few pictures of him currently:
