Senegal Pattern and Color

[ZombieChameleons]

I have 1.2.0 CH Senegal Chameleons.

They all seem to display several diffrent patterns.
I have seen in other chameleons diffrent patterns or colorations are seen in accord to emotions or behaviors.. like accepting/rejecting of breeding or aggression, etc.

Is there a possible thread on this for Senegal's?

Thanks

Senegals can vary in color somewhat normally and they also produce different patterns and colors to do with their "emotions".

A bit of information...

In this site you will see them mating and it shows the colors that the female and male take on at that time....

I've seen the mating picture before.
And I know like all chameleon species they come in diffrent color variations.

I was looking more for a set guideline of sorts of what people have observed their senegals displaying patterns or colors.

I have seen tables before based on what markings a chameleon is displaying being interpreted with diffrent responses to stimuli.

My Olive is a year old, just has had a recent shed and now when she sleeps she has triangles on her spine and polka dots! Other than that she is bright green/yellow and if a big cricket gets too close she will turn black. Then I take that bastard out of her cage.
