  • Veiled Chameleons for Sale – The Best Starter Chameleon on the Market

    If you’ve been eyeing your first chameleon or looking to add a visually striking display animal to your collection, look no further. Veiled Chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus) are hands-down one of the best choices for both new and seasoned reptile keepers. Known for their bold colors, iconic helmet-like casque, and curious personality, these guys have become a favorite in the exotic pet world — and for good reason.

    At Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, we offer premium, captive-bred Veiled Chameleons for sale that are healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive in your care.

    📋 Quick Veiled Chameleon Species Overview

    Lifespan Males: 6–8 years, Females: 4–6 years

    🐣 Age & Sizes Available

    We currently have multiple age ranges available to suit your needs:

    • Hatchlings (2–3 months) – Great for first-time keepers who want to grow with their chameleon

    • Juveniles (4–6 months) – Eating strong, showing colors

    • Sub-adults (7–9 months) – Displaying full casque, ideal for show setups

    • Adult Males/Females (10+ months) – Perfect for breeders or collectors

    All of our veiled chameleons are captive-bred, not wild-caught, which means fewer health issues and better adaptation to home enclosures.

    🍴 What Do Veiled Chameleons Eat?

    Feeding a veiled chameleon is simple and fun. They’re voracious insectivores and love variety. You’ll quickly find that these lizards aren’t picky—but they thrive on a rotation of well-supplemented, gut-loaded bugs.

    Staple Insects:

    • Crickets (daily feeder)

    • Dubia roaches (high in protein, low in fat)

    • Superworms and mealworms (in moderation)

    • Hornworms, silkworms for hydration and variety

    Supplements:

    • Calcium without D3 – 4x/week

    • Calcium with D3 – 1x/week

    • Multivitamins – 1–2x/month

    Chameleons also enjoy the occasional green snack — especially collard greens, mustard greens, and dandelion leaves, though that’s more common with veileds than other chameleon species.

    🏡 Housing & Enclosure Setup

    Setting up the right environment is everything with veileds. They don’t need anything fancy—just tall, well-ventilated, and climate-controlled enclosures.

    Minimum Enclosure Size:

    • Juveniles: 16” x 16” x 30”

    • Adults: 24” x 24” x 48” (or bigger for males)

    Essentials:

    • UVB Lighting: T5 HO fixture like Arcadia or Reptisun 10.0

    • Heat Source: Basking bulb creating 90–95°F basking spot

    • Ambient Temps: 75–85°F daytime, 65–70°F nighttime

    • Humidity: 50–70%, maintained via misting

    • Substrate: Bare bottom or drainage-friendly bioactive layer

    Decor Must-Haves:

    • Live plants (pothos, ficus, hibiscus)

    • Horizontal branches and climbing vines

    • Drip system or misting setup

    Their native habitat is semi-arid mountain regions, so it’s important not to overdo humidity like you would with tropical reptiles. Think dry air + daily hydration spikes through misting.

    💧 Watering & Hydration

    Veiled Chameleons won’t drink from bowls. They prefer moving water from leaves, so drippers and regular misting are crucial.

    • Mist 2–3x per day for 1–3 minutes

    • Add a drip system for consistent access to droplets

    • Watch urates (white = good hydration, yellow = borderline, orange = dehydrated)

    Clean water + good drainage = a healthy chameleon with vibrant colors.

    🤝 Temperament & Behavior

    Veileds are among the most interactive chameleons. They can recognize their keepers and will often come out to explore — though, like all chameleons, handling should be limited and stress-free.

    Males tend to be more confident and bolder with their movements. Females are slightly smaller and can be more territorial, especially during egg-laying seasons.

    Don’t be surprised if your veiled puffs up, flattens out, or hisses — it’s all bark, no bite. Give them space and they’ll come around.
