Small Casque on Veiled?

[DChalo]

Hey, my adult male veiled has a small casque compared to most of the pictures i've seen here. I know there are 2 types of veileds, 1 that is sunburst and one that isnt. But is a small casque a bad thing? Does it symbolize something?

There is only 1 type of Veiled. Do you have a picture of yours?

I thought there were different kinds. Mine is not sunburst at all and only has stripes. And has a smaller casque and is smaller than the ones i have seen on the internet. I will try and get a pic

You are sure you have a male?

It just describes the coloration, like saying albino.

I thought there we two Veiled species also. C. c. calyptratus and C. c. calcarifer.

oh i get it. i was going to get a veiled and when i did all my research i saw those two and i thought they were both from yemen just different kinds

im pretty sure there's only one type of veiled. sunburst is just a designer name given to veileds with a certain coloration

but anyway, DChalo you should post a pic of your cham.

You might have a female.

 

[melric]

It's just something I read. I know that the coloring is not a subspecies though.

I got him a few weeks ago, the previous owner said he was healthy. I supplement by dusting all his food and gutload his superworms
