Chameleon Mutation

[Rutilas]

I have a juvenile female veiled chameleon who is dual mutation (translucent/piebald) with low expression, so it is to my knowledge that she has white areas and also Caucasian coloured areas which cannot change color, the question is that she also has a black armband that has never changed colour and i would like to know if this is a genetic mutation (if so its name) or if it should be something I'd be worried about

(if you have any name ideas as well i'd like to hear them i thought she was a male until now as that is what she was marketed as but now looking into some gender identification videos she is a she)

Not sure if this will answer your question but here is a thread someone wrote talking about the translucent gene. I also have a female translucent, as she got older her patches changed a lot. @GoodKarma19 also has a team female that has a higher morph and also has been seeing changes in patches.

While this didn't quite answer my question this was very useful knowledge and i appreciate your efforts in helping me, thank you.

Then what are you asking. It’s just a morph that has a loss of pigment not really more about it

My question is to the blank segments on her that seem to follow a similar effect as the piebald mutation as pie bald refers to the unchanging white spots i am wonderin as to the black spots that also do not change colour as those are not referenced in anything i have seen

Actually piebald means having both white and black spots or areas. So, her cute little black arm band is a normal part of the piebald variant.
