Chameleons
Our Chameleons
Walkabout Reptiles have a real passion for Chameleons and are very pleased to be working with a select few. Chameleons are for the more experienced hobbyist and breeder as their needs are very particular.
The joy of chameleons is not only their rich diversity of colours, shapes and sizes but also the level of difficulty in breeding them. Once you have successfully hatched and raised these baby chameleons it gives you a fantastic sense of achievement.
Furcifer Lateralis Lateralis
Carpet Chameleon
The smallest true chameleon species, the carpet chameleon, averages 6-8 inches in length. Carpets chameleons are capable of intense displays of colour and pattern variations.
Males can easily be distinguished from females by their greatly enlarged hemipenal area and have more subtle colours than females. They generally exhibit mostly greens, yellows, blues and white. Females often add to those colours soft pastels of pink, blues, and oranges. When gravid, females are capable of displaying intense shades of bright red, orange, purple, blue, and yellow with striking black patterning.

Usambara Three Horned Chameleon
The Three Horned Chameleon inhabits the mountain rain forests of Tanzania and reaches 12-16 inches in total length. These are a stocky species and have a short tail relative to the body length.

Furcifer Pardalis
Panther Chameleon
Panther Chameleons are only found in Madagascar and come in several colour variations depending on their specific locality.
