The Veiled Chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus), also known as the Yemen Chameleon, is one of the most well-known and popular species in the pet trade. Known for their striking color-changing abilities, their unique physical features, and their fascinating behaviors, veiled chameleons have become a favorite among reptile enthusiasts. Native to the mountainous regions of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, these chameleons are well-adapted to their arid and rocky environments, where they live primarily in trees and shrubs. Over the years, veiled chameleons have become increasingly popular pets due to their striking appearance and captivating nature, but they require specialized care to thrive in captivity. Veiled chameleons are typically found at altitudes between 500 and 2,000 meters (1,640 to 6,560 feet), where they are adapted to a relatively dry, warm climate. While they do not require a high level of humidity like some other species of chameleons, they still need access to water sources, such as dew or rainfall, to stay hydrated. In the wild, veiled chameleons are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of insects, small invertebrates, and plant matter. They are opportunistic feeders, preying on whatever they can catch with their long, sticky tongues, and supplementing their diet with fruits, leaves, and flowers.
