Why is Rufus' head turning so grey?

Your Chameleon - got Rufus (male veiled from LLLReptile) in late June 2012.
So he's almost 10 months old.
Handling - Around once a week, he is aggressive, and he runs away from me
Feeding - about 6 large crickets every other day, and 15 mealworms every other day. I just started that a week ago. Before it was 6 small crickets every day and 20 mealworms once a week. He does not like to eat around people, most of the time he only eats if there is no one in the room, or I am hiding in my room where he can't see me.
Supplements - Repcal calcium no d3 daily. Repcal calcium with d3 every other week. Repcal multivitamin every other week
Watering - my mom sprays him twice a day while I'm in school, she goes around and sprays each side of the cage for 10 seconds, and repeats it twice.
Fecal Description - good brown poops, with white, sometimes yellow mini poops
History -

Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
Lighting - 40 watt soft white bulb, 15 watt UVB zoo med reprising bulb
Temperature - not sure, look above. I have a temp gun, it's just that I don't feel like going to the car to get it right now. I'll get it in 15 minutes, then ill post something.
Humidity - 40 most of the time
Plants - Live ficus tree, fake plants, fake vines, disinfected branches from outside
Placement - middle of my bedroom
Location - md, USA

Do you think it's the start of a shed? That is what it looks like, but kinda hard to tell from a pic.

 

[dominicthechameleon]

Ill post another pic. Oh yeah, also it's been like this for like over a month or so.

He looks healthy.. I've noticed pinkish grey coloring on my veileds head when he is nervous.

I dunno. Maybe it's taking him a while to shed.

My veiled looked like that when he was younger for a while. It's just his coloring maturing.

 

[VigilantSpearIII]

He is becoming a Hollow and he is getting his Arrancar powers... Haha seriously though, I have not seen that before. It looks freaking awesome bro. Did you get the Bleach reference?

 

[LegendaryChameleons]

I have some of my younger veileds do that but I don't think its anything to worry about. Some veileds just get relay unique coloring

Sodium

Not having seen it myself, but having read, this might be an excess in sodium or chloride. It is said to be harmless and a natural way for them to get rid of excess minerals.

No. that's what they do, through their nose.

His head is grey because its normal coloring.

ALmost all male veileds have varations of grey/black/ brown heads.

Just unique coloration Great looking fella you have there!

I remember thinking my male was too close to his basking source and was slowly getting burned when these colors first appeared. He looks a tiny bit small for his age, but very healthy . You might want to feed a few more crickets each day for a while until he is at least a year old. I still feed my boy almost every day right now, and he will be 11 months in a couple of days.

Here is Zaphod showing his color.
