He is very pretty, but you know they really don't "blend in" right? It is really just a coincidence that is his patterns are similar to his surroundings.
 
I know they dont blend into dif back groung i had to say it as my little girl was sat next to me and she can read very well she did the picture
 
lol ok! Alot of people do believe this about chameleons. I cannot tell you how many people ask me if my chameleons do that.
 
He's not blending in- those spots mean stress. I mean, he is blending in- spots on an animal help break it up and blend in, but for a veiled they mean he's feeling stressed about something at that moment... Probably being off of plants while having his piccy taken...

This is a simple thread but very interesting to me- I just realized after many years that the spots are not only a communication of his emotional state, but also of course spots break up an animal and cause it to blend in. So the stress response does in fact, create chamoflauge as well as serving a communication purpose to other chameleons... An appropriate response to stress...
