🧬 Unique Appearance & Gender Traits
Elliot’s Chameleons might not be the most flamboyant species in the chameleon game, but their earthy green, olive, and brown color palettes allow them to blend beautifully into planted enclosures.
They feature a short body, small tail, and subtle dorsal crest. Males may sport faint yellow bands or a slight rostral bump, while females stay rounder and softer-toned.
When well-kept and stress-free, these chameleons display deep green shades with occasional warm highlights depending on mood and environment.

All are 100% captive-bred, eating like champs, and conditioned to thrive in terrarium environments.

-
Bioactive setups work beautifully

🍴 Diet & Feeding Schedule
Elliot’s Chameleons eat well and aren’t picky. They thrive on a diet of small live insects and require proper supplementation to stay healthy.
Daily Food Options:
-
Pinhead to ¼” crickets (gut-loaded)
-
Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster for young ones)
-
Small dubia roaches

They’re enthusiastic feeders with precise aim. Pro tip: feed just after a misting session for best activity.
😌 Temperament & Handling
Elliot’s are shy but tolerant, making them ideal for display tanks or chill observation. While they don’t love being held (typical of chameleons), they rarely bite or panic, which is great for newer keepers.
With time, they become confident with feeding tongs or hand-feedings. Unlike more aggressive species, they’ll tolerate gentle enclosure maintenance without too much fuss.
