Chameleons

Yes i have a pet charmeleon and i slapped it round the head and it bit me

It is possible that they CAN breed but its not a good idea. they are not only different species but different genus. in the event that they do successfully mate the eggs would be infertile and it would cause stress on the female and have possible complications

Some chameleon adaptations are:1. Eyes can move and focus independently and view two different images at the same time.

2. Skin pigment cells can change color depending on temperature, mood, and during breeding. Basically they communicate with other chameleons through slight color changes. It also makes it hard for predators to see it.

3. They can shoot out their tongue nearly a foot and catch an insect with incredible accuracy.

4. Behavioral adaption would be the manner in which the chameleon moves throughout vines and limbs. They move very slow, wavy, and precise so they appear to be leaves blowing in the wind. This makes them less less likely to be spotted by a predator.

Chickens are not the preferred food of eagles. American (Bald) eagles eat mostly fish and golden eagles eat mostly small mammals like rabbits and squirrels. I suppose if an eagle was very hungry and could find nothing better, he would indeed eat a chicken. And who would blame him?

I have a pet chameleon and as of right now we've been feeding her mealworms (which is technically beetle larvae). She's been getting bored with them so we tried crickets, which she didn't much care for those because she barely went for them. Beetle larvae and crickets were the only things suggested to us for our chameleon, which may vary depending on which pet store you go to. I looked it up and you can also feed them silkworms, grasshoppers, mealworms, waxworms, flies (but those are what they mostly eat in the wild), and tomato hornworms.

Also if you do try any of the worms to feed to your chameleon, you have to feed the insects too (all except for the flies, crickets, and grasshoppers), because if you don't then the mealworms turn into beetles and the silk and tomato hornworms turn into moths. I don't know if chameleons will eat beetles, but if you let the worms pupate and turn into moths, then the chameleon will eat it.

Another thing that helps with their diet is buying calcium powder to dip the insects into, to help their diet.

Actually, they don't. Chameleons lay eggs in a hole- they can take up to 24 months to hatch, depending on species. When they hatch the babies go hunting bugs and hiding from predators. No involvement of the parents.

Most chameleons lay eggs.

One that doesn't is the Jacksons Chameleon.

It gives live birth to about 4 or 5 babies.

They find shelter under logs and in trees in Hawaii.

They both are reptiles...they have sticky tongues ...

chamelions dont change colour depending on their emotions, they change colour to blend in to their environment.

Chameleons have existed for at least 26 million years. That is how old the oldest fossil record shows them, but they are believed to have been around longer than that. A fossil ancestor to this clade of animals dates back some 100 million years.

Chameleons are primarily carnivorous creatures, meaning they prefer a diet of insects. Their digestive cycle takes many hours so they tend to eat only in the morning. They digest their food the same way other animals do, with the digestive tract.

90 to 120 grams for a female and 100 to 200 for a male chameleon

keep in mind that the weight depends on the breed and age of the chameleon

Chameleons can eat a large variety of insects including crickets, grasshoppers, flies, tomato hornworms, silkworms, wax worms, mealworms, and cockroaches. Although this is a small percentage of what they can eat most of these insects are very nutritious and have good sources of vitamins.

No because a lot of people have them as pets and because they are just like lizards

Yes, some species can. I.e the Epicrates (rainbow boa) family changes their color during night time. Both Brazilian and Colombian rainbow boas fade at their flanks, which turn from brown to a grey/white color. This is referred to as "whitewalling".

The biggest chameleon can grow up to 2 feet long.

Most chameleons are housed in a screened terrarium due to the lack of humidity they require. A crested gecko cannot sustain life in a screened terrarium due to the humidity that they require. These two species would never come face to face in the wild, therefore should not be housed together within the same terrarium. Animals of different areas/continents/regions cannot be housed together. They would require completely different heat, humidity, lighting, mistings etc..

Yes. It's vertebrate, one of our closer cousins.

Chameleons change colour according to their body temperature, mood and emotions. So they don't just change their colour because of their feelings. Chameleons also change colour to camoflage but can not do it instontly they have to sway back and forward (become a bush or leaf) then they will look very similar to what they wanted to be.

Lyssa and lexi were here!

Chameleons are tropical or sub-tropical reptiles. Most live in trees and hunt insects. They avoid predators by changing their skin color to that of their environment. Some sub-species of chameleons such as anoles can be found in large numbers in the backyards of Florida. They are an important part of the diet of wading birds such as cranes and herons. Their environment consists of lots of dense foliage, trees, humid air, warm temperatures, and abundant insects.

its a decomposer that's the answer to the question.

What is your definition of a common chameleon? There is not a species of chameleon called "common chameleon" if you mean the kind of chameleon most often seen in movies then you are probably referring to the veiled chameleon who's price ranges anywhere from forty dollars to two hundred dollars depending on where you purchase them. You should be warned though that chameleons are not often social animals and do not do well when handled. They will get stressed out very easily and cease eating and drinking regularly if too stressed and can subsequently die of dehydration.
