hey,
please can U tell me how can I know if what I'm going to buy veiled or Mediterranean chameleon ??
Because the last time I bought one it was Mediterranean chameleon and I thought it's a veiled cham, So please tell me if there are any signs or any other stuff ? (( it will be great if u post pics and draw the signs between the 2 )) and thanks alot

My picture in the corner is a veiled chameleon. There are many pictures of them on this forum. I don't know what a Mediteranean chameleon is, but I'm sure if you Googled you could find a picture of one.

mediteranean chams are also know as common chameleons and look like senegal chameleons, telling the difference is easy, if your buying them as an adult veilds obviously have a larger veil, if you buy them as babies male veild chameleons have spurs at the back of their hind legs.

Take a look at this photo of meditteranian:

And at this little female veiled cham:

As you can see the veil is going up even at this little one. That´s the sign you should see at any veiled one...

Mediterranean cham is the European Chameleon. The Veiled Chameleon is much larger and got a much bigger "helmet" on their heads.
Google them, it will help!

Thanks for the info. The female looks like any baby vieled. I can tell the difference in the males.

ok but see this 2 pics ((( Mediterranean & veiled chameleon )))
there no much difference between the 2 !!!!

Veiled cham


Mediterranean cham


See there is no much difference !!@@#@#

I beg to differ. Veiled has that pointy head and the other is more flat.and besides if the seller don't know the difference between the two, I'd look for a more reputable one.

It may appear there is not a big difference. But what is the main difference is between the casque. On a veiled chameleon, the caque is pointed upwards like an upside down letter "V". The Mediterranean chameleon's casque is not pointed upwards like the veiled.

Ch. chameleon has much larger occipital lobes, as seen in the photos.
