Adult Veiled Chameleon

Species: Veiled ChameleonScientific Name: Chamaeleo calyptratusOrigin: Veiled chameleons are native to the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the mountain regions of Yemen and southwestern Saudi Arabia. Lifespan: 6-8 yearsSize: Up to 22 InchesEnclosure Type: Veiled chameleons need an enclosure that is large enough to give them adequate opportunity to thermoregulate, explore, hunt, and generally exercise natural behaviors. Their enclosure should also be made primarily of screen to allow for plenty of ventilation. They are also arboreal, which means that they are a tree-dwelling species, and generally prefer to live in tall terrariums. In the wild, veiled chameleons are fairly solitary. They may cross paths with other chameleons in the trees every once in a while, but they don’t actively seek each other out unless they’re looking for a mate. For this reason, it’s best to house only one chameleon per enclosure.Enclosure Size: The minimum recommended enclosure size for a single veiled chamele
