They show more vibrant coloration when they are sleeping.
If he was asleep ... those are his sleeping colors.;)
Are you saying that he never looks different from the pictures you posted?

So the rain falls, hits the roof, goes down the gutter and into an outdoor barrel ... how much pollution does this water collect on that little journey?
-Brad
Agreed, and I have always said (when these water discussions come up) that it depends on where you are located and the quality of the tap water in your area.
There is no question that other cities are not as fortunate as Denver where this is concerned.

They are not "more stressed" frankly, I don't think they realize they are translucent. ;)
As Julie said this is a naturally occurring mutation that was discovered in wild animals.
I have wanted to breed translucents ever since I first saw one and I will tell you it is pretty exciting!
Every...
They arrived this morning in BEAUTIFUL condition!
Thanks again Julie!
I am really proud of them but Julie gets all the credit for getting them big and healthy!

No color changing ability in the areas that have no color.
Eyes are normal.
No problems have been reported with sun or artificially produced UVB.
Remember that this is a naturally occurring mutation.

Chameleons change color to indicate that they are receptive to breeding, they are angry or defending territory, to absorb or reflect heat, etc.
Panther chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) are arguably the showiest of commonly kept chameleons but there are many other species that are quite...
Ha Ha!
I don't think so ... ( the breeding veileds part)
They are being sent back for a show.
Although, things may change when I see them in person. ;)

I am lucky enough to live in a place with great water straight out of the tap, and that's what my chameleons drink (and have for years).
DGray, where did you get the info comparing rain water to distilled water?
I would love to see that study.

Here are some pictures Julie (Chams1) took of some trans veileds I hatched out last year.
I sent them to her (apparently to have her grow them for me) and how they have flourished in her care!
They are in a box now on the way back here.
They are between 5 and 6 months old now.
Thought I would...
