Colors and patterns in female veiled chameleons

[nl.mau]

can some one explain to me what these color and patterns are on my female veiled chameleon? From what I’ve heard and researched is that light green is a stage of relaxation, but waking her up from her sleep she put a new pair of clothes on and showed out her patterns , I was curious to know what this means?

Hello!

It looks like your girl is gravid, do you have a laying bin for her?

Fake plants are not recommended for chameleons, especially veileds. Would you be up to doing a husbandry review? It will help us make sure you have all the right things for your girl.

Welcome on here! They look like “fired up” colors, did you startle her/wake her up abruptly?

Here’s the husbandry review, just copy and paste it then fill it in. Using as much detail as possible and including pics of her entire cage (lights to bottom), and the area around her cage (she might see a reflection of herself or sees something that upsets her near her cage), will be very helpful!
