Black lines... New color or something more?

[codiwatkins]

Hey guys! I was gone for the weekend and came home and noticed these new black streaks on Ty.. He hasn't shed since I got him and has grown significantly.. I was thinking maybe he is about to shed and get new colors but wanted to make sure that it isn't something to worry about! I tried to wipe the spots off with a wet q tip with no luck! I'll post the how to ask for help information ASAP! It's a a lot to type on my phone....

Found it all on old thread!

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ty is a 4.5 month old Male Ambilobe Panther that was hatched on 2/2/14 by sunshine chameleons. He has been in my care for 1 month and some change now.
Handling - I take him out almost daily to go outside and hang out on his trees.. I won't take him out if he walks from me or try's to hold onto his branch when I pick him up.
Feeding - He is eating 7-8 0.5-1 inch crickets, 6-7 dubia roaches of various sizes and 1-2 superworms daily.
Supplements - repitcal without D3 daily, reptical with D3 will be used 2 times a month as well as herptivite multivitamin.
Watering - I am using the good old fashioned hand spray method. I spray about 2-3 minutes 3-4 times a day personally and then my boys will randomly give him a spray when they feel like helping out. I have seen him drinking on several occasions.
Fecal Description - lots of poop/urine! Nice and healthy
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.

Cage Info:
Cage Type - XL reptibreeze 24x24x48. I realize this is a large enclosure for a baby chameleon but I will monitor his intake and output to ensure he is getting enough food!
Lighting - 24" Quad fixtures (1) 6% UVB Arcadia Bulb (22″, 24w)
(3) 6.5K Day Light Bulb (22″, 24w) &Moonlight LEDs. He also has a basking bulb which is a soft 60 watt. Lights on at 7am and lights out at 9pm.
Temperature - His basking spot stays around 82 degrees. My other temp gage is out of battery juice so I don't know what the bottom of the cage is averaging. At night my house stays around 65-70 degrees.
Plants - All live plants- 3 pothos, 1 orchid, 2 ferns, 1 scheffela, and 2 succulents, one is a Echeveria and I can't remember the name of the other one but it is not toxic. I checked!
Placement - The cage is in my living room. The top measures at just over 6 feet.
Location - I am in Texas

I am definitely no expert, but they kind of look like bruises.
