i have a young (maybe 2 1/2 - 3 month old i’m not sure) veiled chameleon i’ve had him for about 2 weeks, and i made sure i followed all the necessary requirements to keep him healthy, but his color seems a bit odd. it could just be a mixture of the basking lighting and the brown hammock, or brown background. but when he’s on his vines/leaves he’s a nice neutral green. he eats a lot, but i don’t see him drinking often, and i know he specifically does not like when i spray the cage, he almost always runs the second i start spraying it. the cage is 2x2x4 i keep a basking temp at about 90-94, a base temp at high 70s, a night temp of low 70s. i keep the humidity at about 45-60%. i feel i’ve done a really good job keeping care of him, and giving him a good home, but his color just throws me off a bit. if anybody is smarter than me about young veiled male chameleon colors let me know if this is a worry some color or not. (btw he rarely gets small dark brown or almost black dots all around him when me or my brother approach’s the cage, i also give him his personal space by never picking him up or messing with him.
