chameleons change color environmentally/for social cues. Most adult female veiled chameleons (looks like this one is an adult female, not 100% sure though) change significantly less than males do. They will get darker/very pale to indicate heat/cold stress, and females will turn a very dark brown with blue and yellow spots to get a male to leave them alone.
The really fantastic displays are between males competing for a female, or males trying to solicit a female. I had veileds a few years ago, as well as a panther chameleon. They really are awesome creatures, and the OPs looks exceptionally healthy.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND SHOW US MORE PICS!!
