Veiled Chameleon Adult Male

Chameleons are popular pets but require very specific needs to be healthy and long lived.  Your investment in appropriate length and wattage UVB, heating, and lighting saves you from buying equipment twice. 

Mesh enclosures are not a suitable habitat for chameleons in dry climates. MANY care guides originated from areas where keepers can house the animals outside in the ideal weather all year round. This is not the case for Canada. Mesh enclosures do not hold any humidity in them (even with a mister) and they wear down or break the animal's nails which will not grow back if torn out.
We have suitable options in store and all the equipment needed to set up.

ENCLOSURE OPTIONS:

Minimum for a Veiled 36" x 18" x 36". A female Veiled Chameleon can go into a 22" x 22" x 46" terrarium, but a male should not due to their larger size. Do better than the minimum if you can!
