  • Carpet Chameleons for Sale – Captive Bred Color Bombs You’ll Love to Watch

    If you’re ready to level up your chameleon collection with something jaw-droppingly colorful that doesn’t need a massive enclosure or fussy care, then Carpet Chameleons (Furcifer lateralis) are calling your name.

    Native to Madagascar, these smaller, vibrantly patterned chameleons have become one of the most popular picks for intermediate keepers — and for good reason. The colors are insane, the setup is manageable, and they’re one of the few chameleons that actually show off even when you’re not watching.

    At Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, our Carpet Chameleons for sale are 100% captive bred, thriving on gut-loaded insects, and shipped overnight with live arrival guaranteed. No wild-caught stress here — just healthy, high-color beauties raised right.

    🐣 Sizes Available

    We offer Carpet Chameleons in multiple age brackets:

    • Juveniles (3–5”): Fast growers, vivid colors start showing

    • Sub-Adults (5–7”): Sexable, bolder colors developing

    • Adults (8–10”): Fully matured coloration and temperament

    Each one is hydrated, eating, and stress-free before ever being offered for sale. We do right by these animals from day one.

    🌈 Why Are Carpet Chameleons Called “Carpet”?

    The name comes from their intensely intricate patterns that resemble a woven, multi-color carpet. Males sport bright turquoise, green, yellow, orange, red, and even purple hues, while females often show soft pinks, oranges, and light green — especially during breeding season.

    Their color contrasts are sharp, and unlike other species, they’ll display their palette even when calm. So if you’re looking for a showstopper, this is the chameleon for you.

    🍽️ Carpet Chameleon Diet & Feeding Guide

    These beauties are insectivores, and they love a hunt. You’ll want to offer a rotating menu of live prey to keep them healthy and stimulated.

    Diet Includes:

    • Crickets

    • Dubia roaches

    • Silkworms

    • Black soldier fly larvae

    • Blue bottle flies (for stimulation)

    Supplementing:

    • Calcium without D3 4–5x a week

    • Calcium with D3 1x per week

    • Multivitamins 1x every 7–10 days

    Always gut-load feeders 24 hours before offering. Hydration and calcium balance are key to avoiding MBD (metabolic bone disease).

    💦 Hydration & Humidity Requirements

    Carpet Chameleons come from humid forest environments in Madagascar, so they need moisture-rich air and daily misting.

    Ideal Conditions:

    • Humidity: 60–80%

    • Misting: 2–3x daily (automated systems or hand sprayers work)

    • Dripper System: Encouraged to simulate natural water flow

    • Hydration Tip: Watch for healthy round eyes and firm skin — no wrinkling or sunken features

    You’ll also want a well-ventilated screen enclosure to avoid mold or respiratory issues.

    🏡 Enclosure Setup for Carpet Chameleons

    Unlike Veiled or Panther Chameleons, Carpets don’t get huge, so their enclosure can stay fairly compact — which is great if you’re tight on space or just getting started.

    Recommended Enclosure:

    • Size: 16x16x30″ for adults (taller is better)

    • Type: Screen enclosure for airflow

    • Lighting:

      • UVB: Arcadia 6% or Reptisun 5.0

      • Basking Bulb: 85–90°F basking spot

    • Ambient Temps: 72–78°F

    • Night Drop: 65°F is okay

    Decorate with natural branches, vines, and live plants like pothos, hibiscus, or umbrella plants. These chameleons like to hide, perch, and explore vertically.

    😍 Behavior & Temperament

    Carpet Chameleons aren’t fans of handling — like most chams — but they make incredible display animals. They’re active during the day, not aggressive, and they communicate with body language and color shifts.

    Personality Traits:

    • Shy but bold in color

    • Calm with slow, deliberate movement

    • Solitary — don’t house multiple chameleons together

    • Interactive when hand-fed or misted

    If you like the idea of having a “living piece of art” in your reptile room, this is the species for you.
