Veiled Chameleons as Pets. Veiled Chameleon Care, Behavior, Diet, Interaction, Costs and Health., Paperback

It's easy to understand why chameleons are so popular among reptile enthusiasts. They have very unique body plans, incredibly long tongues used to catch prey, and independently mobile eyes. They're also capable of changing colors in breath-taking fashion and make excellent photography subjects. But unfortunately, most chameleon species are challenging to maintain in captivity. They are not only somewhat fragile, but they also require special habitats and care regimens, which are too difficult for most novice keepers to provide. But a few species - including veiled chameleons, the subject of this book - are often hardy enough to thrive in the hands of dedicated keepers. We'll try to help you succeed with veiled chameleons by providing information about their natural history, biology, and captive needs. By learning more about these subjects, you will be better prepared to care for your new veiled chameleon and give him the quality of life he deserves.
