What do these colors mean?

hbluedevilh Oct 23, 2004 09:11 PM

Ok, today my girl was just haning out and eating and what not and as I was at my desk I saw her just change to these colors which I have never seen her do before. It was pretty cool!

Here are some photos to show you. They are much lighter than the colors actually where, but a good example. If anyone can tell me what they mean that would be great. Thanks, Lu

that looks like a male to me but...

the colors are normal..for a young veiled.

once older they will change from having green,black and brown bars/oval spots to haveing oranges,greens,blacks,browns,blues and yellow mixed around but in the same genaral pattern you saw.

that(in your pic) is their stressed/desplay patern(some have dif colors). their basking pater in solid brown.

you said she was basking? She could just be trying to cool down.

When Luna gets all spotty she is saying "Hey, you're buggin me!" it isn't as drastic as hissing getting her angry colors I think it is just when she is mildly annoyed. Here are a couple of pix of her in her polka dot dress (she was about 6 months old)

She looks so pretty here

and this is her sppoky halloween costume

Lele,

I love the second pic of Luna, she looks positively evil!

With her golden eyes and spotty skin it is hard to know she is my (usually) very sweet little Luna!
