Captive Bred Veiled Chameleon
Veiled Chameleons (Chameleo calyptratus) are native to the southwest coast of the Arabian Peninsula in the countries of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. They are a widespread species found in the dry plateaus, valleys and forests of their homeland. While few chameleons could survive in such conditions, Veiled Chameleons are a hardy species, which is widely bred in captivity. These chameleons can be sexed from birth as the males have an extra appendage called a tarsal spur on their back heel. Veils are not compatible and only one can be kept per enclosure. The chameleon’s unique binocular eyes and method of capturing prey by projecting its long sticky tongue make it a fascinating pet to observe. Chameleons stress easily and do not like visual contact with other chameleons or excessive handling by humans.
Approximate arrival size for Captive Bred Veiled Chameleon: 3 to 4 inches.
