      Nice one!

      You would have to ask a herpetologist – and I suspect his answer wouldn’t be any better than mine!

      They can be quite territorial and aggressive so they may just turn “angry colour” if they think it is a rival 🙂

      What a great question!

      Unfortunately it is based on a bit of an urban myth. Chameleons change colour depending on their mood, not to blend into their surroundings. See:

      So the answer would be – it depends whether it was happy, sad or scared…..
