Greying around crest and eyes

[Presto905]

Hello! This forum has been extremely helpful to me for the past couple of months. I am a first-time chameleon owner and I have a 7 month old male panther chameleon. He has seemed to be developing and growing properly, he has shed 3 times in the 3 months that I have had him. He gets repticalcium without D3 every other day, and a calcium with D3 once a month. His diet is mainly crickets, with a mix of super and butterworms as treats. I've noticed recently that around his eyes and around the crest on his head have been turning almost a grayish blue. I didn't know whether to just brush it off as an increase in his color spectrum, or if there was something ailing him that I was unaware of. Any help or information is greatly appreciated. Ive included a picture of my guy.

Thanks!

Looks pretty normal to me. I don't see anything to worry about. If you do a search of cham pics I think you'll see the same on mature adults.

You are very welcome,btw the full color development of the panther cham can some time take up to 1 and half years so u will see more if he is willing to show more.

He is a designer cross. Lord knows what kind of coloration he'll show when he's fully grown.
