My Pet Chameleon

Welcome to MyPetChameleon.com

On this website you can read all about keeping chameleons as pets. I try to cover more species of chameleon, but I mostly cover the veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) as it is the most common chameleon to be kept as a pet.

I try to make this website as easy to navigate as possible. You will find the categories on top.
