Purple Veiled Chameleon

[jdog1027]

I had 103 eggs hatch out this weekend, and I had more than the usual that were deep purple. I have had plenty of others in the past hatch out purple, but they always went normal within a few days. Granted they were always somewhat lighter or pale in comparison to the rest. I never hung on to any long enough to see if the ones that hatched purple were any different when they achieved adult coloration. Anyone else ever hatch purples?

Nice Justin! I had like 2 purple ones hatch out before.

If you have a purple male, I might decide to be back into keeping a veiled.

There are several, I just don't know if this is something that will stay with them until adulthood. I've had them hatch purple before, but they change after anywhere from a few hours to a few days, but they always seem to remain pale. You can look at the group and sort of tell who was purple. Never kept any until adult colors showed, but I think I might hold back 2 or 3 this time. If they aren't exceptional, oh well. Their father shows more yellow than anything, but the female came from FL Chams as a 'turquoise'.

Almost all veileds look like that when they first come out of the egg. It will go away.

Congrats on them hatching. Jebus that's a lot of chameleons. Hope you find good homes for them all.
