New Arrival

Pascale my new male veiled chameleon has arrived! So far I have given him a misting and put in some crickets that have been dusted, I dont expect him to eat just yet after the move stress but ill be happy if he does. He came right out and traveled around his enclosure getting to explore it and I managed to creep in just to snap a picture of him basking quickly.

The only thing I did notice is that his coloration darkens severely when he basks. He went from this wonderfully vibrant green to a very strange brownish orange. I checked on him later and he was in a lower area with more foliage and his color went back to its beautiful vibrant green. I assume this is because he is out in the open while basking in a new environment?

Congratulations on your new baby!! The color change when basking is very normal. It could be partially because he's stressed but it's probably, mostly because they darken up in order to absorb more heat.
