Translucent veiled chameleon receptiveness

[Mike H.]

Hello! i have a female translucent veiled! now since she is translucent, she does not have the robin egg blue, or the orange that a normal female would. she is not aggressive to my male she tends to accept him, but my question is, since she does not have receptive colors, will the male still be attracted to her and try to mate with her? thank you!

My low translucent girl still flares receptive colors. Could you post a picture? She might not be old enough to show mating displays.
These are her colors when responding to my male when she's not receptive or is already gravid.



These are her receptive yellows, but forgive the grumpy girl...

mine is translucent not low translucent, and from other pictures i see online most translucent females dont have those colors? when i bought her, other non-translucent chameleons her size were showing at least oranges. and yea i know mine might be a bit too young for breeding, ill give her a couple months but i at least expect receptive colors right??

She's not too young to lay, be sure that she has a bin. But I would definitely give her more time before you breed her. She'll definitely get blues and yellows to let you know that she's receptive.

Whoa. I have never seen red toes, like those! Is that common with translucency?

In a high translucent, it's not uncommon to have pinks but I have never seen reds like that!

Does anyone else that breeds know? @Brad @Matt Vanilla Gorilla @alphakenc ?

The red is amazing! I do not work with these guys, though I do admire them! With that much red, I do however hope, that someone will treasure this amazing genetic potential an selectively bring around a new breed of red veiled chameleons! @Mike H. Wow! What a treasure!
