About Chameleons'
Veiled chameleons are stunning — slow-moving, colour-shifting, with those famous independently-swivelling eyes.
They are a specialist animal, not a starter pet. They like to be left to themselves rather than handled, need careful humidity and hydration, and prefer a tall, planted, airy enclosure.
For a dedicated keeper they are endlessly rewarding to watch. Talk to us about the right setup before taking one home.
