When do baby veiled chameleons start to develop more colors. I currently have 2-3 month old male veiled chameleon. He only displays shades of green. When will he start to show more colors like red, blue, orange, yellow, etc.? Thanks

he wont, vieleds are mainly green with some yellow or torqourise ( not sure of the spelling) and spots of black. Reds, blues, orange are mainly associated with Panthers from what Ive seen. sorry to burst your bubble and expectations.

Approximately at around 6 months is when most young chameleons start growing into their adult colors. So you'll see that about that time his yellow/orange bars will start to come in along with some blue, etc. And it'll just get better from there.

Yes I don't know why one would think veileds don't show a variety of colors? I have a torquiose and yellow male. My female has turned brown black green yellow, redish, purple ish, all sorts of colors! Check out my pics too if you'd like

Mine is about 5-6 months and I just started noticing his colors. It's an odd variety but whites, reds, browns, usual green, little black with an orange surround. He has yet to fully develop his stripes but you can easily see them. I can't wait for him to really show some colors. Also he has been upset on his cage size hopefully the bigger one coming in tomorrow will brighten up his mood

Veiled chameleons colors

It toke a long long time for my male to start showing his colors. He's still young and has more to show. But they are very colorful. Just give him time and keep him feed and healthy. Don't give up. I almost did until I saw my mothers hit a point where he just started growing and with more and more color as time went on.

Yes Veiled's can be very colorful especially when fired up. Give him about three more months he'll start firing up for you.

my baby veild is only one month old and a few days he is the cutest.

Mine started getting stripes first then each shed he got more colorful from there. 6 months they start to show a lot of color but 9 months has been the brightest he's been but I'm sure he still has more to go. Lots more yellow and teal with little spots and stuff.

I got this guy at the end of November, he was about 5/6 weeks old. Hes just now starting to display more than the green lizard look. You can probably tell which are his upset colors and which are his happy ones, lol.. He doesn't like my camera when hes in his cage

Velds are not the most colorful kinds of chameleons. But they do have some nice colors to them. My veiled is green and yellow when he's asleep like most velids. When he is angry he is a darker green and gray color. There are small yellow bars in between his stripes. You can see in the picture below.

Olympia beat me to it. Veilds start showing colors at 6 mo. and beyond. They can display an amazing range of colors. Here's one of Lucky all fired up after I did a little house keeping one Saturday morn.

 

[KamaKamaChameleon!]

Woah never seen those colors so dark of color in mine!

 

[Graves923]

ok I'll jump into the old thread too lol

Kyle when he was 4 months old compared to a couple weeks ago. Also through a photo of him from a few days ago in his relaxed colors to show how dull he can be.

 

[Grandma-to-two]

Would it be the same for carpets? My little guy is about 4 months old and I’m hoping he gets a bit more colour to him.

 

[Ireland]

He has been getting more color how old will be when he gets his color
