Cham colors

[TylerMcCoy]

is there anyway to change the outcome of your juvenile chameleons colors?

I think if you take super good care of them and they are very healthy they seems to be more colorful.

A good, well-rounded diet will bring out his full color potential, while a malnourished cham won't be as colorful. A blue barred Ambilobe may sometimes display more red, and vice versa. But you can't really influence what direction it's going to go, or do anything to predispose it to develop blue, red, yellow or what have you.

thankyou very much, also, around what age do chameleons reach their full color potential?

12 to 18 months depending on type...thereabouts anyway

I have a male veiled who is 3 1/2 months that is yellow and light green. He loves to fire up and has black accents. He is the most amazing fella (except maybe Luie who is pretty amazing). I hope he makes a good breeder. Can't wait to see what his adult colors are.
