Chamaeleo calyptratus - adult male

The veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) is an arboreal species of chameleon. It is native to the south-western Arabian Peninsula (Yemen & Saudi Arabia) where the climate is semi-arid and tropical. It is highly susceptible to stress which makes it a species difficult to treat in captivity.

I raised this guy from a baby, but you definitely need to give chameleons plenty of space to roam and hunt. Any species of chameleon should absolutely not be kept in small terrariums, but sadly when kept as pets they often are confined to much too small of spaces. I kept him in a large, tall open air cage where he had plenty of space to hide and hunt, and he acclimated quite well.

Top is Petko and the bottom is Petra in their enclosures as a small size update

Petko has grown extremely friendly and will voluntarily walk out to you whereas Petra is the typical chameleon and doesn’t like anything ever and is prepared to throw down about it but I love her all the same

Went down to South Florida (again) last week and found this cutie that I liked so much I kept him. 

Ordinarily, I do not collect animals from the wild, but Veiled Chameleons are an introduced exotic species in South Florida, so I had no qualms about giving this little boy a home.
