I have a male veiled that I've had now for 2 years (got him as a baby).
The majority of the time, he's darker colored instead of the bright, vibrant color that he gets when he's sleeping.
Now, I always heard that when they're darker, they can be stressed, grumpy, sick, etc. I had him to the vet for a checkup a while back and he found nothing wrong with him.
He's naturally a grumpy little bugger. Anytime I go near or hold him, he either takes off or opens his mouth and hisses. Funny thing is, when he is angry and hisses at me (when I take him out of his cage), he gets that bright green/yellow.
What gives?
