Anyone Have a Picture of a Relaxed Non-Gravid Female Carpet Chameleon?

[silas.edwin.johnson]

If you look them up online, you will see these beautiful pictures of super contrasting colors for females, like blacks, whites, reds, greens, purples and oranges. I'm just wondering if they actually look like that in their basal relaxed state or if that's them showing their gravid colorations. Thank you!

Check out Frank Payne, he's one of the more knowledgeable Carpet Cham breeders, he's been on Chameleon academy to talk about them too. His Facebook has lots of pictures and info.

This is my girl not gravid. She mainly stays light green. The spots are when she’s nervous or excited. She gets very dark to black when making eggs then goes green again with pale pink spots before laying. She’s never been mated.

@GrannyK can I ask what size cage you keep her in? My brother used to keep them in a XL reptibreeze, but I wonder if they can be ok in a large?

Although, obviously more room is better.

I have her in a 24x24x24 glass with bioactive bottom to maintain humidity. Our winters are dry here. She does well. Yes bigger is better though.

Here is her miniature castle.

itnis almost impossible to provide you with what you want. Carpets mate as soon as rhey can so technically all females are either gravid or just after oviposition

Right, I meant the baseline color that a carpet would be having. A lot of pictures are just them super fired up during the leadup of them laying eggs. I just wanted to see a picture of one as it would be for most of the year.
