Veiled chameleons are a medium to large size chameleon. They are very hardy and with the right environment can be very easy to keep. Out of all the chameleons, veileds are most popular for first time chameleon owners. Babies can be kept together but once maturity approaches, they must be housed individually or in an enclosure large enough that they can not see each other. Translucence is a genetic mutation of the skin causing a translucent effect usually near the limbs, tail, and face.
