Light green patch

[Jungo]

The past two days my chameleon has developed light green patch on his back even when his color change is the patron means the same. Is this normal?

Did he have a fall?

I can’t help with what could cause the green area, but are you aware that it looks like he is a she? Can you post a pic of the back of the back feet? Boys have pronounced tarsal spurs. Some females may have tiny nubs and can be easily sexed wrong. Here is my male.

No not at all he never leaves his

I’m assuming the mines is a girl because the spurs very little but I’m not sure. I got my Comedian in June it was about a month old so he / she should be about 4 months old

Looks female to me, they're not very prominent spurs.

Thank you for that information

Going back to the green patch do you know what caused it, or what can I do to correct it?

 

[MissSkittles]

Yes, you have a female. How old is she? If she’s around 5-6 months you need to make up a lay bin for her and it’s easiest to keep it as a permanent part of her enclosure. She will lay eggs whether mated or not.
You’ll want to get a tote like this one https://www.target.com/p/16-9qt-lar...sX5U0Yn4Y3Vk8w2kXARoCtLMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Put in some washed play sand to about 6-8” deep and it’s important to keep it moist enough that it can hold a tunnel without collapsing.
Has your cham shown any bright colors, patterns or dots? Has she looked restless, constantly climbing all around the enclosure? If so, that was her receptive phase and she can lay her eggs anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months after.
When she sleeps, what does the light green area look like?

 

[Jungo]

Thank you for that information is very informative.
When she sleeps she’s usually really light green her entire body matches the color of her spot

Are the spines on the back missing where that patch is. Mine has discoloration now but going through partial shed. I always worry about a burn.

 

[Jungo]

No there not missing They’re very small but they don’t look like they’ve been worn down or anything

Yes. She has a line green patch on her back and she has been going up and down in her enclosure lately

Thank you for your advice immediately after I read your Comment I went to Lowe’s and I bought her a deep long planter I filled it up with sand nice and moist and I changed her plans at the bottom to give her some more privacy
