Male Vs. Female Veiled Chameleons! 

Anyone that has recently or is thinking about purchasing a cham, one thing a lot of people fail to mention is when you interact with your cham, pay attention to the shirt you are wearing. Bright colors such as red, blue, yellow, etc effect your cham in a negative way. Same goes for dark colors like black, navy blue, etc. Greens and browns are colors chams see as relaxing. Just a little tip to help anyone out.

I have about a 7 month old female chameleon, I’ve handled/worked with her a lot. Especially when she was little. (Obviously I’d put her back or leave her alone when she’d get stressed or overwhelmed) But it’s worked out great, she loves to be held and loves people. She’s my first chameleon and it’s been amazing so far, I always watch your videos just for little tips and stuff, and it’s really helped so far. Thanks!! Lots of love from Beans and I.🦎💖

I love my female, but the egg laying every 90 days is extremely stressful for both of us. I do everything I can to make sure she's comfortable and has everything she needs but it's always hard. Even though I absolutely adore her, my next veiled will be a male.

R.I.P Banba. You’ll be missed by many❤️🥺❤️

I'm so glad you were able to do so many videos with Banba before he passed. Lots of love to both of you.

Thank you so much for all the info. I’ve been wanting a Chamaeleon for about a year now. I do own a gecko and a bearded dragon. I’ve done a lot of research and I learn something new every day it seems like. I’m grateful for people like you who put this information out there so we can learn more before getting these animals. Thanks again!

I am getting a male veiled chameleon in a few months... I am so excited! I have done over two years of research and I am totally ready!

Yume wasn't able to get all the eggs out on her 4th clutch of eggs. During surgery they found a big mass that was a bunch of eggs that somehow grown merged together. That was almost 2 months ago, she is doing great now! The doctor could find only one ovary and removed it so we are hoping she won't lay again.

I have a female, I just finished setting up her bio-active cage with terra firma and bio-bag from Bio-Dude, I have been watching you, Neptune, Bio-Dude, and of course, Bill Strand and have learned a lot so I could put her set up together properly, as YES, I am one of those people that got sucked into a "chameleon kit"... that will be her outdoor cage now. I have the proper size cage, lights, substrate, etc so she will be able to lay her eggs as safely as possible, when the time comes. She is about 6 months now, so I am reducing her feedings and I bought a deep dome lamp so she gets a better temperature regulation in her cage, which she seems to be enjoying even tho I need a TON more plants! I would be happy to update info on her as she progresses, if you just tell me how. Skittles is wandering about her cage now, she doesn't seem to mind that she really has one real hiding place right now, tomorrow there will be a trip to the local nursery as I continue my search for a ficus or umbrella plant for her. Have a great night... Chat with you soon :)

That little animal that you had in your hand, I just love it!🥰😂!

i legit got a chameleon cause of bamba,i wanted a boy so bad cause of the way they look and the size! well fast fowards 2 months i learned i had a girl lol so it went form dexter to dextra and i love her!

Great information! Wonderfully organized! Super helpful and informative, thanks :)

I remember getting my veiled chameleon called Mercury. I got told it was a boy but she turned out to be a girl. I remember them saying that I was able to take her back and get a male but I had already made an emotional attachment with her and wasn’t going to let her go so here we are, egg laying can be a pain but we get through it

Incredible! So glad I have come across your channel x

Awe so cute always loved chameleons. Always wanted one maybe one day. Awesome video as always. Hope you are feeling better. Keep up the great work. 🦎🦎🦎

Wow Tricia this is such an awesome video I love it.😃👍

Ah it’s my fav chameleon drug lord 😂😂😂 am I stay doing that joke? Yes

The egg laying thing is what scares me the most about my crestie!! I thought I was getting a boy, but I ended up with a girl and I'm so scared once she gets to egg laying something is going to go wrong

where can i get those stickers for the terrariums from ? thx for your help :)

this helped me a lot in deciding which chameleon gender i want to get and I'm leaning towards getting a male :) I'm gonna get a chameleon in about a month and I've been doing so much research so they can be happy with me. i found your page while researching and I'm so happy i did because you're not only helping me but also my sister because she has bearded dragons

I have a female veiled named Cleo 💚 you can actually feed them in a way where they have smaller egg clutches to no eggs at all! Egg laying is stressful for all experience levels. But please trust that these animals have instincts and as long as you provide them with all they need and some privacy that all will be well. However!! Here are some warning signs I have learned about that should really help: Hanging out at the bottom of the cage for most of her day (this is aside from her exploring and digging in her laying bin) Pale in color Doesn't eat Doesn't use the bathroom Loses weight in a very short amount of time If any of these warning signs are showing up in your female call the emergency vet and get her in.

I have a female veiled chameleon and she seems to always want to walk around out in the yard in the grass. However sometimes she changes colors sometimes she doesn't I'm unsure if she feels intimidated or if she's enjoying herself out there. I'm trying to give her a little real vitamin d u v and some daily exercise outside with me. But I don't want to stress her out.. is it normal for them to want to roam around? I thought they always enjoyed being in higher places? It's my first chameleon and I really want to learn and treat her right

We have a female I believe . My kid came home with a lizard but not that bit of information. It’s a juvenile at the moment but I am not looking forward to the egg laying. Trying to learn all I can.

Thank you we love our chameleon.

question. would it be better to feed them inside their enclosure or in another place? out of curiosity haha because i have a ball python and i feed him outside his terrarium, so that he doesn't start thinking hes getting food every time he sees my hand and tries to stike my hand haha

I have female

I only keep female chameleons. I provide live plants in their cage for egg laying. I have had one girl become egg bound and it was heartbreaking. 💔 My Tinkerbell is 3 years old and lays eggs every 4-6 months. It’s messy, but cool watching her do her thing.

Another big difference in care is that you need to watch out about having too hot of a basking spot for males because the veil will burn

Can't teach an old dog new tricks!? Well, this one at least learned something new today 😎 didn't know females also had veils. So, cheers for that love...

Good video my amiga 👍👍👍🥰

I have a juvinile female, probably about half full grown. How big of a worry is her getting egg bound going to be? Is there a significant chance? I have a vet on call if ever needed,just worried it's more common then I think :(

I have a question can you house a green tree python without a cage

Hi!! So i have a female chameleon named Winnie. She's completely nothing like shy or angry when i try to get her out she just accepts it like yours. I think it doesn't always like matter if u have a male or female just make sure you treat them right from the beginning on.👍🏻❤️🦎

Loved seeing everyone's chams 💚One care difference between male and female chameleons is that females need to be kept at lower temps with a basking temperature no hotter than 80F. This will help reduce clutch sizes and stress on the female's bodies. Females should also be fed no more than 3-4 every 2-3 days to help reduce the number of eggs they lay. Hope this is helpful for anyone who has a female. I don't usually plug my own videos on other people's videos, but you did ask to share any info we have about female chameleons and I do have a video all about chameleon egg laying and how to set up a laying bin that keepers should find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dy6sIPvNGUw.html as well as a video that goes into detail on sexing a baby veiled chameleon with pictures of tarsal spurs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nMsvzXQ4qnk.html

I'm getting a male or female veiled chameleon this week or sometime

If it has a nub/ tarsal its a boy in the back leg like thumb in the back between the to toes

I am really sorry for your loss! I can only imagine how hard it is..😔

Easiest way I could tell was the little ball on the male’s back feet.. I have 3 Veiled Chameleon’s and 1 Panther Chameleon.. And 2 full grown bearded dragons. And a few more reptiles. I have been blessed with all happy and healthy reptiles. All are grown but my 4 month old Veiled Chameleon. All my Reptiles are male’s. 😁

Can you do a gutload video for the insects please? I love your videos

Not here to watch the vid but when to comment and let know to understand these creatures and learn everything u need to know and get u a male and female so u can breed them

i love his pale green with the yellow and brown. he was the best looking male veiled i've ever seen! hope you are doing well without the little guy

What if u just one female not intending to breed

My female veiled chameleon Camille laid 72 eggs for her first clutch after mating with my male Coupe she laid them August 12th around April or May they should hatch have them in an incubator

Also have a male Jackson chameleon and female. and a panther chameleon love my chameleons

I have a male and female i like them both but the male is more colorful and the female are more difficult because they have eggs even if you don't mate them with the male

1000th view and 101st like. So sorry to hear about Banba. 🥺

Hi 👇

I have a female veiled chameleon and I going pretty well with her

I didn't know i had a female veiled chameleon

Yea my females ended up being harder to handle and died unfortunately within the first year( typically due to their feistyness. Freak accidents and not due to anything I technically did) my male on the other hand is a jerk but he's been more chill then them and has a more laid back personality.

Looks like you are doing pretty good for someone with no experience looks like u have some just read more and more and practice what u read to get more experience but to me otherwise looks like you are doing really good

Youu so cute

Rip Banba

Love your tattoo’s also what’s the cage size for male chameleon

Wait I think I have a female chameleon 😀

Males are actually more fiesty in my opinion and females can actually live 4-6 years

Thanks for your video. I bought mine from petco and the worker told me I had a female, I had no idea about some things I heard in your video so I'm glad I watched. But come to find out he is a male. He's 4 months old.

I have always thought chameleons were easy lol but guess everyone different only thing I don't like is there nails hurt when they get big
