Behaviour & Compatibility

House alone. Territorial display animal; minimise handling and visual contact with other chameleons.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer varied gut-loaded live insects; juveniles need more frequent meals than adults. Gut-load feeder insects and use calcium and a reptile multivitamin according to the product instructions and the animal’s UVB provision. Avoid overlapping vitamin D3 products; ask our reptile team to check the schedule for this animal. Provide clean drinking droplets and drainage. Females need an appropriate laying site even when housed without a male.

Routine Care

Check temperatures, humidity, appetite and behaviour daily. Replace drinking water and remove waste promptly. Clean bowls and contaminated furnishings regularly; monitor weight and shedding. Arrange advice from an exotics vet for persistent changes in appetite, breathing or movement.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the supplied animal’s current size and feeding routine, and have its enclosure ready before collection.
