: how old is it?
: youngsters tend to have better colors that fade with age and shedding.

: breeding season may be a factor.

: Stress also plays a role, but it would affect the whole body, not just the head.

: Some lizards increase their coloration with age, others lose it.

: I guess your baby is growing up! check him (her?) out during breeding season. As long as the whole body looks ok, then he's fine. If the entire body looks dull, then it's bad news.

: time will tell! keep us posted, so we may figure out why, ok? take care!

I got him in August and he was just a baby then. He/she now has grown but still a juvinille. The rest of the body looks ok with green and some grey and yellow. I sure do hope the teal comes back on it's head. It really was pretty. Thanks for your reply!
