Are female Veiled Chameleons hard to care for?

I''ve been doing a lot of research on Veiled Chameleons. I am ordering one Thursday but I''m not sure if I should get a male or female. How hard is it to care for the female when she lays her eggs? Do the eggs need to be incubated and very carefully maintained? Am I just better off getting a male? Also if I ended up getting a female, would she be able to stay in the enclosure with one of the babies? I have a 100 gallon screen cage for my Chameleon. I already know every thing I need to know about them. I am just concerned about the female laying her eggs. Do the females require plenty of work when they need to lay the eggs? Thanks!

Sometimes they won''t lay eggs unless they''ve been with a male, but I have known of females to lay infertile eggs without a male''s presence. Quite honestly, I''d recommend getting a male if you can. They''re more colorful and you won''t have to worry about a female getting eggbound if she does lay infertile eggs. If you end up getting just a female, though, you won''t have to worry about incubating them, since they''ll be infertile. You will have to make sure she''s getting extra calcium supplementation, and she may lose weight/stop eating when she''s gravid. If this is your first chameleon, simply get a male and see how that goes.
If this is your first reptile, then I suggest getting something MUCH easier such as a leopard gecko or even a bearded dragon.
Glad to know that you at least did research. Good luck!

  • I would second the suggestion of getting a male. Egg production often ends in premature death for female veileds and at the very least constant worry each time they are gravid.

    They rarely live as long as males.
