Description

Cool climate chameleons were once only found in Africa at elevations higher than 5,000 feet. Like all chameleons, they change color and use their long, sticky tongue to catch their food.

• - All chameleons change color, depending on temperature and mood
• - Chameleons have eyes that can see in two directions at once
• - Most chameleons can become highly stressed when handled. Regular handling is not recommended
• - Tree-dwellers that reside on branches and in plants exclusively
• - Chameleons regularly shed their skin; ensure humidity of habitat is at appropriate level to allow proper shedding or provide a shed box, a hide box with sphagnum moss, that will aid in the shedding process
• - Upgrade habitat size as your reptile grows
• - House adult chameleons separately and do not house different reptile species together
