hey there chameleon forums world....new to owning a reptile, and my first choice was a jackson's chameleon. i have a buddy who has extensive experience with reptiles and he is helping me, but I wanted to join this community having heard what an awesome resource it is from various people.
my first question as a new cham owner is...my jackson's cham is often a dark hue, which I have read is associated with stress. is this always the case? or could he just be adapting to his new home and is a little uneasy? Guess I'm just concerned that he could be overly stressed....he has PLENTY of foliage, a water drip, a basking area and alot of climbing space, and his cage is the recommended kind (wire) and size. He is often just chillin on a branch but always darker than lighter in hue. I've had him two days. Should I be worried?
Thnx for bearing with the newbie...
