Red baby veiled hatchling

[VJPeli73]

I have a clutch of Veiled Chameleon eggs that just started hatching recently after going into diapause for a while. After the first one hatched the second one started to hatch, I left him alone and came back later. When I care back he/she was walking around the bin so I put it in a proper enclosure. After I put it in, he started to turn red while I was near him, is this normal? Here is a picture:

@VJPeli73 I've had baby quads and graciliors go a funny red color when very young. Sometimes in response to stress, sometimes when sleeping.

Not much

Is he/she doing anything out of the normal? How many have hatched?

Not much

Too cold? Be careful about too much heat though.

What exactly should the basking temperature be at because I have it around 85-87

Actually I just read that it should be around 76 I will change it right now

Don’t have much knowledge on that, but i did see a very young panther at a petstore similar to that.
He was more pink though

Is this real! I'd love to see the colours as it matures.

I bet I know who would have some answers for you! @jannb what to you know about this? I know hardly anything about veileds!

 

[Daniel266jz]

How are the other babies? Are any of them red also? Any progress with this little one?

 

[jannb]

I’ve had veileds hatch very brown and some with a red hue but not this red. They all turned green within a month. Is your baby really this red or does the camera make it look more red?

I was using a normal iPhone camera to take the picture, there was no filters or anything, I believe it was something about how much heat was in the enclosure though because after I raised the bulb up higher the temperature dropped to 76 and the next morning he/she started looking more green and normal. Thank you for the concern.
