Describe the specific walking movement — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CD26:9A60:B99A:70A4:4BFE:C540 ( talk) 07:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
I removed the claim that hatching is synchronized in a clutch by a chemical signal. A professor of mine, who studies Veiled Chameleons, has never heard of this, and it sounds suspicious to me. If anyone wants to find a reference that backs this claim up, we can put it back in. Geoff 01:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed 3 links: One was a link to a political blog that contained no information about Veiled Chameleons (simply had the same name), one was dead and resulted in a 404 error, the other was a site selling cages for chameleons.-- Mike Searson 14:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I added File:Veiled chameleon, Boston.jpg to the taxbox. The fact that this image wasn't already there surprises me and makes me suspect there's a reason? I tried researching but I couldn't find anything which prohibited the use of the image in the article so for now I put the image there myself. Jacedc ( talk) 17:34, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
first mating experience — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:718:806:1001:0:0:0:1B ( talk) 11:48, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
This article has several issues and while I wish to rectify them it would take several edits over a long period of time so I have decided to start a rewrite project here. Any input or collaboration would be appreciated, likewise, review and approval would probably be necessary before the final rewrite. Thanks! Jacedc ( talk) 17:51, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Is it just me or does the Pokémon Kecleon look just like a veiled chameleon? If so, I suggest adding a section about Kecleon to the article. The Pokémon Fan ( talk) 16:06, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- If you can find an independent source that Kecleon's look is based on the veiled chameleon (interview with the designer?) then by all means add a section. sheridan ( talk) 10:57, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
This page includes a thorough examination of the behavior, ecology, habitat, and origin of the veiled chameleon or Chamaeleo calyptratus species which is native to to the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The strengths of this article include the in depth description of the behavior and ecology of the veiled chameleon, inclusive of it’s mating style, feeding behavior, and temperature preferences. This article contains multiple references and links to further reading which suggests that it does not include original research. Additionally, it does not appear to have any copyright violations and is well written. The article is void of bias and opinion and is written in a broad manner. I found it fascinating that the veiled chameleon is an introduced species in Hawaii but has not been able to adapt properly and is still considered invasive within the local ecosystems. I found that while the article was well written, it was missing information on the taxonomy, origin, and anatomy of the veiled chameleon. While this information is not necessarily required, it would provide helpful details about the nature of the veiled chameleon that might aid any interested reader in better understanding the behavior and innate properties of this species. The article is ranked as a start-class article with mid-importance ranking. The start-class ranking might refer to the lack of information provided regarding the specifics of this species (like anatomy, taxonomy, and origin). Chukka.vennela ( talk)
I thought that this article was extremely in depth, well cited, and well-written. I also thought that the author discussed very important points about the ecology of the veiled chameleon. Additionally, this article already had a plethora of sources from trustworthy scholarly research articles. I also enjoyed the way that the author included an image of the veiled chameleon right next to their written description of the lizard. I thought that this added to the description of the lizard. What I did notice, however, is that there was not very much information presented about the diet of the veiled chameleon. Although a section for the diet was already added, I decided to do some of my own research to add on to this section. I added the last three paragraphs to this section from three different scholarly articles. I thought that this information would not only bolster the information in this Wikipedia page, but I also thoguht that this would be a nice way for the reader to transition into reading about the various nutrient-related diseases that the veiled chameleon encounters.
Great article! I added a bit more to the lead to expand it using information found in other sections of the article. I also fixed some grammar and changed some wording to make things easier to read. I also added some embedded links throughout the article in order to make it easier to navigate. Emshen526 ( talk) 04:12, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
I have noticed that this article is written like a herpetoculture guide - I wanted to note here that species level Wikipedia articles are not intended to function as husbandry guides or tutorials for animals that are kept as pets, but rather are encyclopedia articles on the species. They can - of course - reference that the species is kept as a pet and note any particular culture relevance, but again, should not contain how-to tutorial information. ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_manual,_guidebook,_textbook,_or_scientific_journal). I will be paring down tutorial information on this page.
