Â· 7 years ago. Chameleons camouflage themselves in a variety of different ways but most famously by changing the colour and pattern of their skin. Most chameleons can change colour and they do this by expanding or contracting cells in their skin that contain different pigments. They can blend into their surroundings by altering the colour of their skin to match the background. Chameleons will also use their ability to switch colour during social displays when they alter their colouration and pattern dramatically from the background. Their body shape also helps with camouflage as well as the way they move. The high arched back gives their body a leaf-like shape and their slow movements make it diffi cult for predators and prey to detect them. Some chameleons, for example the stump-tailed chameleon, rock back and forward to look like leaves being blown by the wind.
Veiled chameleons lay clutches of 30 to 60 oval eggs (exceptionally, up to 80 or more for very large females) every 90 to 120 days. These eggs, which upon laying are 1 to 1.5 grams in weight and a little more than half an inch in length, begin developing in females before the females are 1 month old.Female veiled chameleons retain sperm and may produce a second clutch 90 to 120 days after oviposition, even if not mated again.ncubation. We use shoebox-size, disposable food storage containers to incubate veiled chameleon eggs. No ventilation holes are added and the boxes are covered. Both vermiculite and perlite are suitable incubation media, but we prefer perlite mixed with tepid water in a ratio of 150 grams perlite to 120 grams water.
