The Male's eye looks like its suken in... Is it? Or is it just the way the Picture came out?

I think he just looks really upset at seeing that Camera, they both do, lol. Nico is that the same Veiled that attacked your roomies cam lens and took a chunk out of it?

The males (probably females too) will do that when they're mad and threatened.

I'm no chameleon behavioralist, but my guess is in the wild the males may fight for territory or mates. They sink their eyes in for protection during fights.

AFH

PS Bud's a handsome guy!

Just thought I'd ask. My Chams see it better to run from the Camera after they get fired up . lol

yes, veiled chameleons have the ability to retract their eyes.
That is why you need to watch them for several minutes, and also look at the casque before making an assumption.
