*Veiled chameleons can come in different shades of greens & teals
Chameleons are generally shy and reserved reptiles. They can be handled but are solitary in nature. Each chameleon's personality can be different within the same species. Chameleons such as veiled chameleons are known to be the most reserved. However, you can handle them; it just takes more patience, time, and trust. Chameleons such as Jackson's and Panthers are known to be more friendly and moderate-tempered but likewise still can be shy and reserved.
Chameleon age and size are dependent upon species. Age can vary from 4-to 8 years on average. The size of your chameleon can also be dependent on sex with a range of 9-21 inches in length.
Chameleons are insectivores. Although you can catch them munching on plants sometimes, their diet consists solely of insects such as hornworms, dubias, crickets, superworms, and so on!
