Veiled Chameleon (Chameleo calyptratus)

 Blue phase male Veiled Chameleon

Housing : Babies can be raised in 20 gallon aquariums with a screen top until they are 5"- 6 " long. Adults can be maintained one per 30 gallon aquarium with screen top but do better in an all screen enclosure . All enclosures should contain either plastic or live plants for hiding , a variety of different diameter branches , a basking spot and UV lighting .

Feeding :Babies should be fed 2 week old crickets dusted with a good quality mineral supplement such as Miner-All . Crickets should be properly fed prior to feeding them to your chameleon and should never be larger than 1/2 the size of the Chameleons head . Adults will readily consume crickets , meal worms , super meal worms , wax worms and roaches along with some plant matter.

Water : Chameleons will not drink out of a water bowl . Water should be offered daily either with a drip irrigation system or by spraying the chameleons and plants directly . The watering device can be as simple as setting a deli cup ( small hole punched in the bottom ) half full of water on top of their enclosure and allowing the water to slowly drip onto the plants or into a small shallow bowl .
