The crested chameleon
Speaking of alternative pets, One of them has always attracted people's attention, and that is the chameleon. Because of its unique appearance and the most attractive color-changing ability, it is very curious. If you can raise one yourself, that is one of the dreams of many people who pursue magic. However, what is more disturbing is that chameleons are arguably the most difficult lizards to raise in artificial environments. There are very high requirements for light, environment or feed. So below, the editor of Boqi will introduce to everyone a chameleon species that is suitable for beginners-the high-crested chameleon.
There is a rather special existence among chameleons, that is, the high-crested chameleon. The name of the high-crested chameleon comes from their top-hat-like head crown. This kind of chameleon can adapt to a wide range of temperature changes, so it is relatively easy to raise, which also makes them the easiest chameleon to grow. species, it can be said that the crested chameleon is the chameleon that best suits the conditions of artificial breeding.
This powerful species is native to the desert environment of the Asian countries of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and is one of the few chameleon species scattered outside of Africa. Because the environment is cruel, the vitality is very stubborn. In addition, almost all the high-crested chameleons currently on the market are artificially grown, so they are more likely to adapt to the artificial environment. Therefore, the high-crested chameleon can be said to be a well-deserved entry-level chameleon species.
The gender of other high-crested chameleons is also relatively easy to determine. Male larvae have a small fleshy protrusion at the base of their hind feet when they are born, while females do not and are very easy to separate. Adult males are often larger than females and can reach a length of 65 cm, while females are often only about 45 cm. The size of the crown of males is also larger than that of females.
One of the important things that teaches everyone the separation of males and females is that a common phenomenon among chameleons is that males with high crests often live longer than females. And because the color appearance of male chameleons is more beautiful than that of female chameleons, it is still recommended to raise male crested chameleons if you are raising them for the first time.
