I am confused on what to do. I have my first chameleon, a female jacksons chameleon. I do not breed, I just am going to use it simply as a pet. I first bought her since she was the cheapest, but now I kinda think I should have gotten a male (which most people do). I have had her for 6 months. I can tell if a male is stressed or not, because of their coloring. Females are just always a more duller color so I cannot tell. I have also noticed that females are more temperamental, and can also "give infertile birth" (like laying infertile eggs like veiled chameleons do,but they are live bearers). I really like my chameleon but I think it would be easier and a little more interesting If I have a male since I can easily tell their color and they have horns However, I only have the money, resources, space, etc to house 1 chameleon. I would certainly give her to a great home and check the house out before I let her go IF, and a very big IF I decide to do this. I of course know how to take care of these animals, I just think a male would be easier and more fun. Please do not be too harsh and give me your opinions. Have a nice day.
