Book Description
The one and only chameleon is world renowned for its ability to change its skin color rapidly (throughout movement of pigment cells) and for the outrageous length of its tongue (more than one and a half times its body length!). Relatives of agamids and iguanas, chameleons are insect-eating, tree climbing reptiles that have highly specialized needs. Written by a team of experienced herp experts, Chameleons intends to instruct keepers on how to best care for their chameleons and covers the four most commonly kept species: Jackson’s chameleon with its prized triceratops horns on its head, panther chameleon with its spectacular coloration, veiled chameleon with its unusual casque on its head, and the rather large Parson’s chameleon. The book subsequently is divided into four parts, each including an introduction and natural history, captive care, and reproduction of the species. Part I, Jackson’s Chameleon was written by Sean McKeown; Part II, Panther Chameleon by Gary Ferguson, James B. Murphy, Achille Raselimanana, and Jean-Baptiste Ramanamanjato; Part III, Veiled Chameleon and Part IV, Parson’s Chameleon by Kenneth Kalisch. References and index included.

It is also suitable for anyone who has already purchased one of these wonderful creatures but is unsure how to take good care of it. It provides an understanding of the way these creatures live in the wild and explains how you can mimic these conditions at home in order to provide a habitat that your chameleon will thrive in for many years to come. There is a lot of conflicting information out there which can be confusing, what should you believe and what should you ignore? This is an all in one, go to guide, which covers all the main topics and answers any questions you may have. It explains the common mistakes that owners often make so you can avoid them and tells you what symptoms you should look out for and how to prevent certain medical issues.

Book Description
It's easy to understand why chameleons are so popular among reptile enthusiasts. They have very unique body plans, incredibly long tongues used to catch prey, and independently mobile eyes. They're also capable of changing colors in breath-taking fashion and make excellent photography subjects. But unfortunately, most chameleon species are challenging to maintain in captivity. They are not only somewhat fragile, but they also require special habitats and care regimens, which are too difficult for most novice keepers to provide. But a few species - including veiled chameleons, the subject of this book - are often hardy enough to thrive in the hands of dedicated keepers. We'll try to help you succeed with veiled chameleons by providing information about their natural history, biology, and captive needs. By learning more about these subjects, you will be better prepared to care for your new veiled chameleon and give him the quality of life he deserves.
