 Green Belly Swift...?

Ok... Sounds i know it weird when your used to hearing blue belly, but is a green belly normal? To the naked eye my male lizard’s belly is a green-blue color primarily green, with a teal trimming & green & teal neck. After he got used to me & warmed up to me when I could hold him more easily I got a super bright led light to shine on his belly & it looked almost completely green under inspection. I took some pictures yesterday with my mom’s super expensive Cannon camera & his belly shows up completely & only green. To see if it was a camera setting I used my less powerful camera, my phone camera & even my sisters camera. They all turned out to show his belly being almost completely green or a black green mix even. The tiny barely-visible patches on my female are both light blue, and neither of them showed up on any camera’s pictures.

Are these green patches normal, do they indicate any sort of sickness or problem?... or do you guys have any experience with certain colors not showing up as much on camera?? I have decided I will probably keep him if his patterns are rare, lol... Green is my favorite color.

 Green Belly Swift...?

Ok good, I was worried it was gonna be due to some sickness or too many mites or something. Jared has me paranoid over mites because my male’s a wild-caught. He’s healthier & more active than my female, and even though it’s gotten better he’s also more skiddish, so I wasn’t planning on keeping him. He’s a NC lizard, caught in the woods right in the middle of the state. Like I said, to the naked eye it looks like he might have teal colors, until you shine a light on him & then you see his only blue is a tiny bit in his neck & faint blue mixed with green in the very middle of his belly, bordered with 360° of green mixed with black on his sides. This is generally speaking, I’ve been watching and checking his belly lately with a SB-LED more often and he seems to be able to adjust or alter these colors slightly for some reason, maybe for camouflage, mating, or heat needs. The first picture was the only full belly shot I got & it looks like it more blue and less green showed up in it than some of the others, but the picture is better & my fingers aren’t in the way anywhere on the first one. Check out these, especially in full size.
