Leaf Chameleon - Females

Female leaf chameleons are slightly smaller and display more muted tones, but they are just as enchanting with their natural camouflage and unique movements.
Level of Difficulty: Advanced (due to small size and specific care needs)
Appearance: Females average 2.5–3 inches with subdued earthy colors like brown and tan.
Husbandry: Identical to males, with a focus on maintaining high humidity and a stable environment. Requires laying bin. Requires a bioactive terrarium (minimum 12”x12”x18”) with plenty of leaf litter, branches, and live plants. Temperatures should be 72–80°F with a nighttime drop to 65°F. Humidity must be high, around 70–90%, maintained through misting and substrate moisture. UVB lighting is necessary. 
Diet: Feeds on tiny insects such as springtails, fruit flies, and pinhead crickets.
