Carpet Chameleons

Carpet Chameleons are one of the most colorful of all chameleon species! A benefit to owning a carpet chameleon is they are a smaller chameleon species that can live in one of our small or medium chameleon setups that we offer for sale. Often times we offer unrelated carpet chameleons for sale here at our facilities.

The carpet chameleon (Furcifer lateralis), also known as the jewel chameleon or white-lined chameleon, is a species of chameleon that is endemic to eastern Madagascar. It is a relatively small chameleon and especially females tend to have bright markings in many colours, whereas males are mostly green and whitish or green and yellowish.

Two populations formerly included in this species are now recognized as separate: the larger and less strongly coloured F. major from southern Madagascar, and the typically greenish (it is not generally found in a dark, blackish form) F. viridis from western and northern Madagascar
