When can you determine a Veiled's color?

[cigdoll]

I'm just curious on what colors will Kiddo(3 months and 3 weeks male Veiled) have, can it be determined on how it looks like at about 4 months? Do all Veiled have similar colors or there are different types of Veiled? If there are different types of Veiled, how can I tell what type/kind of Veiled do I have?

Colors should start coming in at around 4 to 5 months if fed well with lots of good light.

? Veiled are born with colour, bright greens with white bars but the yellow/blues an so on from perhaps 8 weeks

Veiled chams basically all have the same coloring, excluding translucent veileds.

Males will have yellow bars, with blue dots, and green spread throughout.

Females will have orange/blue/brown spots.

the only thing that changes from cham to cham is the shape of the barring, and shades of color, but the basic is yellow bars.

This is my adult male.. yours will be similar to him.

Do you add any supplements for color enhancing? Or lighting?

I use natural sun when I can.
Repashy all in on calcium plus.
Dino Fuel and bug burger for putting on the bug food.

[that pic was also him right before a shed, so he was pretty dull looking]

Thanks for the posts everyone! The reason I wonder about Veiled colors and types because I came across this website TikiTikiReptiles and they have different types of Veiled and they have their little differences in colors and pattern. I guess I'll have to wait till he's all grown up

Maybe you are mistaking the individual names of their breeders for names of different types of veileds?

 

[pssh]

There are 'names' for each chameleon and sometimes 'names' describing the colors (like turqoise, sunburst/yellow, etc.) nothing special. Most males will have, like said, yellow bars with green bodies and varying amounts of blue. Some individuals have a high amount of yellow not in the bars, and occationally orange.

Cigdoll, I checked TikiTiki out and I think their veiled's are bred to show different colors, which, correct me if I'm wrong (senior members?) would be classified as a 'morph'? Not entirely certain as to the term as I'm not a breeder (yet!) but I believe TikiTiki is breeding their veiled's to be different colors than the classic veiled, which is indeed mostly green and turquoise with yellow bars (males) and green (females). Is TikiTiki where you purchased your new veiled? They ARE pretty cool looking veiled's!

I got my Veiled at a local reptile shop..too bad I didn't find TikiTiki before, BUT I am very happy with Kiddo with no regrets!

Yeah, I agree! I've already trained mine to disappear every time my wife goes to look for him !
