Veiled Chameleons. Life Span: Approximately 6-8 years in captivity. Size: Veiled chameleon males can reach 18-24 inches in total length (about 12 inches snout to vent length plus their tail), while females tend to be quite a bit smaller at 10-13 inches (just 4-6 inches in snout to vent length plus their tail).
Size. Size can serve as a way to tell mature males from females, but it doesn't help much in sexing preadult specimens. In most species, males grow larger than females. In some of the larger species, like panther chameleons, the difference can be significant, with males almost doubling the size of females.eel Spurs. Veiled chameleons offer an exceptionally easy method of determining gender: The males are equipped with a single small outgrowth on each back leg. Termed tarsal spurs, the spurs are present immediately after hatching, allowing you to determine a lizardâs sex immediately.
