Is this normal?

[TylerAndHarold]

I have a 6 month old Veiled named Harold. Lately I have noticed that while he is sleeping his casque and ridges above his eyes turn black like they are bruised. This is my first cham so I'm not sure if this happens to all of them or not.

Thanks for the help

Here is a picture I got a few nights ago. I am guessing he is just dreaming or something but I'm not really sure because it happens a lot, but only while he is sleeping. During the day he is active and bright colored

I'm no expert but I lightend the picture for you so the experts could see it better.

Hey

I also have a male veiled (2 yeasr old) and when he is sleeping he will sometimes get the same black/dark bruised pattern around his eyes, i dont notice it all the time but i think its kind of normal, ive noticed it on and off for quite some time. If this is a problem i hopw someone can let me know!

I don't believe this is an issue. Chameleons change colors at night. I have had a few males do that at night as well.
