White Chameleon???

[baggedd5087]

So when i left my house to take my girlfriend home my 2 month old veiled was sitting in his basking spot enjoying the rays and 40 minutes later i got home and he was sitting on the bottom of the cage looking scared and white and green and i put him back up in his basking spot and he turned black. and he has been acting funny all day he has been dark brown and angry with everything i did to him. Should i be concerned at all or is this normal

Has this only been happening today or for a few days?

At two months id keep the high end temps more around 80 f -ish to reduce the possibility of overheating.
definately leave off that much handling, it will stress your baby cham. keep the insects quite small.
Everything looks to be within acceptable guidelines, and I think your lizard is simply upset. It will need some time to adjust to its new surroundings.
Its exciting, but dont love it to death.

Im trying not to i cant stop staring at him and then i get to excited and want to hold him and take pictures of him lol. and im getting him tiny crickets so he doesnt choke.

If you just got him I would just give him some space. If he went to the bottom of the cage it may have been because he wanted to cool down a bit. For his age 91 may be a bit to high.
