Every time I check on her she is this color so it seems she’s this color all the time now if I move the heat she will always try to sit right under it and continue to be that white color it’s so weird maybe she’s overheated but I would think she wouldn’t want to be near the heat if that was the case ? Lol I have no idea ! I have a thermostat in her cage to control the temps as well.
Color changes with chameleons are misunderstood for the most part. They don’t actually blend in with their surroundings. They not all the same either. You think that a veiled would be bright green when he’s happy and warm. Not always. When my chameleon is warm and happy in his house he is a drab brown mostly. When he wants to go play in the ficus or crawl on the couch he turns bright green with darkened stripes, likely due to the temperature gradient change. When he sees my dogs he leans to the side and instantly gets dark brown spots all over and black stripes around his eyes and veil. Not saying that this is the norm but gives a picture of an individual animal. Things like stress, internal health, fear, comfort, and temperature is the patterns to pay attention to.
She’s has a ton of room her cage is really big and she has a lot of different places to go close to the heat far from it. Everything you just said is what she’s been doing though I’ve been feeding her more hornworms and she seems to be doing a lot better my only issue now is she constantly has her right eye closed and I’ve noticed she will make it bulge out. there’s nothing in her eye or coming out of it lol I’m having issues with her !
