I have a question about Veiled Chameleon

[liangyu]

I have one Veiled Chameleon which was 4 months. Its color is pretty green. When she angry will turns to brown and green. But I saw the picture in this website. The Veiled Chameleons were very colorful. It's red and little blue or something. Will my chameleon turns to that when it is big enough?

Veiled Chameleons

Your female veiled will stay green and brown the majority of the time. When it comes time that she is sexually mature you may notice baby blue spots all over her body. This color pattern can mean that she is receptive. In some other cases you may notice that she turns completely black with dark orange patches and some baby blue spots. This color pattern could mean that she is gravid. Gravid means that she is non receptive and that she may have eggs in her. Females do not need a male to produce eggs.

You mean they dont need Male Chameleon for the chameleon baby? I mean will they produce eggs with nothing in it? They can make a baby by themself? Wow! That's great.

no, theyll produce eggs without a male but theyll be infertile.

If you follow these instructions you can prevent your female from laying infertile eggs. Laying eggs is very hard on the female and shortens their life.

so you mean produce eggs is a bad thing that happen to her?

Only if they produce a lot. If you follow those instructions in that link, she will live even longer than normal. Make sure you get a laying bin for her when she's about 5-6 months old.
