If there’s one animal we’ve always got a plentiful supply of it’s Yemen Chameleons. Yemen Chameleons are desert chameleons from the Yemen and Saudi mountain regions. There are also known as Veiled Chameleons because of the large crest on their head.
Leonard
Our breeding pair Leonard and Lucy have given us a steady supply of eggs ever since they were partnered together. Lucy will often lay up to 50 eggs at a time. The incubation period for Yemen Chameleons is very long compared to most other reptiles potentially being up to 8 months!
Some Yemen Chameleon Eggs
This current batch consisted of 48 eggs. Unfortunately 2 failed to hatch properly and were lost but the rest were in superb condition. They are now all living in a large 4′ x 3′ x 2′ vivarium where they enjoy catching small crickets and locusts.
They really cause a stir in the shop as they can sit virtually invisible hidden in the vivarium foliage. But, once a tub of food goes in the jungle literally springs to life with long tongues shooting in all directions. We’re very proud of our chameleons and recommend anybody to visit them!
Yemen Chameleon Baby (shedding)
I saw the last set of baby yemens in the shop, when you see so many of them in the vivarium its like the whole things is moving in waves.. crazy.
Greatings,

hi there im looking to buy a vivarium set up, as i would really like to own a couple of you baby chameleons and maybe breed them in a few years, how much am i looking at to buy the required set up suitable for a couple of chameleons and would you assist me in getting it set up once ive bought it as i would want it to be a successful purchase that i could enjoy for years to come and obviously so that the chameleons have a long and enjoyable life
Hi Jamie
Good choice, Yemens are very interesting and easy to look after providing you have the right set up. Prices can vary depending on how you want to have yours styled, what UVB source you would prefer etc.. It’s a fairly basic set up but I would suggest you visit the store or give us a call (01604 753823) so we can give you as much information as you require.
Look forward to hearing from you!
ive been to your shop and i like the set up you have for leonard and lucy, so something like that really, can you give me a price range from the cheapest to most expensive for that kind of set up which is suitable for two chameleons
thank you
If you budgeted for around £400 that would be about right for a good quality set up AND 2 of the chameleons.
Hope this helps Jamie
ok thats great thanks gary, i hope to be able to purchase them soon so look forward to coming into the shop and getting what i need from you
hi gary ive managed to get hold of a vivarium thats brand new and was bought from your shop but was never used, what do i need to buy to complete the set up, to accomidate two of your baby chameleons the dimensions are as follows 3.5ft x2.5ft x 2ft
i would appreciate it if you could assist me with this and give me a price for what i need
Hi i have a pair of yemen and the female as started laying eggs i have a incubator,how long will eggs need to be in there and what differant things can i lay the eggs on?.
Hi Cris
Yemen incubation is relatively long, around 6-8 months. We use Vermiculite in the egg boxes and found this to work well. It has to be the right humidity though, we add 1 1/2 parts of water to vermiculite weight in a sealed container. Feel free to call the shop if you need any more information
helloo, can you tell me how much a chille rose tarantula would cost? thanks!
just realised i commented on the wrong thing haha
Hi Megan
We have Chile Roses from £2.50 to £40!
wicked thanks!
im assuming the £2.50 are the spiderlings?
Yes, and we have red Chiles for £3.00 too!
thanks!
how difficult are they to breed we lost our female.she laid one lot of eggs.but we lost them all.so it is good you can do it .keep it up,sandra
Nice to know you breed them yourself.
Hi, just wondered how long the female Veils take to lay? Mine has been didgging for the past week or so, and is fat as! with incubator waiting!!
Cheers
Very difficult to say. Sometimes they do it straight away, we’ve had them take weeks also! I assume you have a male in there too to stimulate her??
Soooooooooo cute! I just lurve the way they move… 😉
So Cute, i like ’em when they change there colour in order to their surroundings, They just FIT! 😉
hi ive got a yemen chameleon he is approx 18 months old now, and does not seem to be that much bigger than wen i first got him… how long does it take them to grow to there full size… and is there anything i can do to incourage his grow
hi my yemen is laying her eggs right now,i have an incubator waiting,do i have to keep the egs rhe same way that she has laid them?im ve got to put them in the vermiculite,the way up i found them, havnt i?and lastly how long after shes laid them should i move them to the incubator?
The Chameleons in your shop are just gorgeous!
I could sit and watch them all day 🙂
hi i could really do with your advice, i just realised that my uv tube was due for renewal for my chameleon set up so i purchased a new tube unfortunatley ive realised that ive bought a repti glo instead of the repti sun that was orginally fitted will this cause problems for my cham or is this ok
Hi Jamie
The repti glo tubes are not as good as the reptisuns which is what we advise. Ideally you need to get a reptisun in there as soon as. We purchased a uvb testing kit and tested the tubes against each other and the put put of uv in the repti glo is quite low compared to the reptisun. Make sure you are using a 10% tube as well.
They are so cute!!! I love green. They look so good in green. They’d best be kept in a green vivarium.
