Verrucosus Chameleons for Sale – The Rugged Reptile with a Wild Look

If you’re deep into the chameleon game and looking to add something truly different to your lineup, the Verrucosus Chameleon might be exactly what you need. These aren’t your average veiled or panther lizards—they’re rugged, earthy, and exude wild Madagascar vibes. Known as the Warty Chameleon thanks to the ridged texture along their flanks and spines, this species looks like it came straight out of a dinosaur exhibit.

Here at Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, we’ve got hand-picked, well-acclimated Verrucosus Chameleons for sale — and believe me, they don’t stick around long.

🍽️ Feeding & Nutrition Guide

Verrucosus Chameleons are insectivores through and through. Their diet should be high in variety and gut-loaded properly to ensure peak coloration, bone development, and overall health.

Staple Diet:

Crickets (daily)
Dubia roaches
Silkworms, hornworms, black soldier fly larvae
Occasional waxworms as treats

Supplementation Schedule:

Calcium without D3: 4x per week
Calcium with D3: 1x per week
Multivitamin: Every 10 days

These chameleons are active hunters — they’ll shoot that tongue out with speed and accuracy, so keep live prey moving. Watching them eat is honestly half the fun.

🏡 Housing & Enclosure Setup

Verrucosus chameleons thrive in tall, well-ventilated enclosures that mimic their arid, scrubland roots from Madagascar.

Feature	Recommendation
Enclosure Size	Minimum 24”L x 24”W x 48”H (taller = better)
Lighting	T5 HO UVB fixture (Reptisun 10.0 preferred)
Basking Temp	90–95°F
Ambient Temp	75–82°F daytime / 65–70°F nighttime
Humidity	50–70% with daily misting
Substrate	Bare bottom or drainage-friendly layer
Decor	Branches, dry vines, ficus, schefflera plants

These guys don’t like a soggy setup. They come from drier regions than most chameleons, so focus more on air flow, vertical space, and naturalistic perches.

💧 Hydration: Mist, Drip, Repeat

Although they come from dry zones, hydration is still critical. These chameleons won’t drink from a water bowl, so your misting system is your best friend.

Mist 2x daily (morning & evening)
Drip system for 30–60 minutes daily
Monitor urates for hydration clues

Humidity spikes during misting are key—but don’t let the cage stay soaked. Good drainage and airflow prevent bacterial buildup.

🧠 Temperament & Handling

Let’s get real: this isn’t a handle-all-day lizard. But that’s not why you get a Verrucosus.

They’re more display animals—meant to be admired, not played with. However, with calm movements and consistency, they’ll recognize your presence and stay calm. Males are more territorial, while females can be more shy. Both are smart, observant, and will track your movements in the room.
