The Finest Chameleons for Sale
Bred by Experts, Guaranteed Alive
CB Reptile has spent over a decade mastering the captive breeding of every major chameleon species. When you buy from us, you receive a healthy, hand-raised animal backed by a live arrival guarantee and the expertise of a biologist on site.
The Clear Leader in Captive Bred Chameleons
CB Reptile was founded on a single belief: captive breeding is the future of the reptile hobby. Unlike competitors who mix wild-caught imports with captive-bred animals, every chameleon we sell was born and raised in our facility under the watchful eye of a licensed biologist. We specialize in all species of chameleons from the breathtaking Panther Chameleon locales of Madagascar — Ambilobe, Ambanja, Nosy Be, Sambava, and more — to the hardy Veiled Chameleon, the multi-horned Jackson’s Chameleon, and rarer species sought by advanced keepers. Our animals arrive healthy, eating, and acclimated — or we make it right.

The crown jewel of the panther chameleon world. Ambilobe males erupt in blazing reds, oranges, and yellows with electric blue bars — one of the most colorful reptiles on Earth. Our Ambilobe line traces back to exceptional breeding stock selected for vivid, high-contrast coloration. A truly awe-inspiring display animal.
Ambanja Panthers are celebrated for their stunning royal blue and green coloration, often accented with striking purple hues. These chameleons originate from the Ambanja region of northwestern Madagascar, and our captive-bred specimens carry the purest locale genetics available. If you want a blue panther chameleon, Ambanja is your answer.
The most popular chameleon in the pet trade, and for good reason. The Veiled Chameleon is the most hardy and adaptable of all chameleon species, tolerating a wider range of temperatures and handling more beginner mistakes than any other. Our captive-bred Veileds display brilliant green with bold banding and are raised on a diversified feeder insect diet from day one.
Affectionately called the “three-horned chameleon,” male Jackson’s Chameleons sport three prominent rostral horns reminiscent of a triceratops. Native to the humid cloud forests of East Africa, they thrive in cool, misty conditions and are livebearers — a fascinating characteristic that sets them apart from all other commonly kept species. CB Reptile’s Jackson’s are captive bred and ready to thrive.
Named after the island of Nosy Be off the northwestern coast of Madagascar, this locale is famous for producing some of the most vivid turquoise and sky-blue males in the entire Furcifer pardalis species. Our Nosy Be animals are locale-pure, meaning we never cross locales — ensuring the next generation maintains those iconic island colors.
Sambava locale males are among the most fiercely colored panther chameleons, with deep reds, burnt oranges, and contrasting white lateral stripes that set them apart in any collection. Originating from the Sambava region on the northeastern coast of Madagascar, these animals command attention and are a top-tier choice for panther chameleon collectors seeking something truly bold.
One of the rarest and most sought-after panther chameleon locales, Nosy Faly males are renowned for displaying extraordinarily vivid pinks, purples, and whites — colors virtually unseen in other panther chameleon populations. These are prized collector animals, and CB Reptile is one of very few breeders with an established, locale-pure Nosy Faly program.
Also known as the Jewel Chameleon, the Carpet Chameleon is a smaller, highly colorful species native to the highland plateaus of Madagascar. Females are equally as colorful as males — an unusual trait in the chameleon world — displaying elaborate geometric patterns in greens, blues, and orange. Their moderate size and stunning visual complexity make them one of our most popular advanced-keeper chameleons.
Our Animals, Our Breeding Program
Every photo in our gallery is of an animal bred and raised at our facility. What you see is what you get — no stock photos, no wild-caught animals, no exceptions.
We employ a licensed biologist who oversees every aspect of our breeding program. No competitor can say the same. This isn’t marketing — it’s our baseline standard of care, and it shows in the health of every animal we ship.
Several large competitors blend wild-caught chameleons into their inventory. We never have and never will. Every CB Reptile chameleon was born in captivity, is fully acclimated to feeding and handling, and carries no wild-sourced parasites or stress.
We maintain strict locale integrity across all our Panther Chameleon lines. Ambilobe animals are only bred with other Ambilobes. Ambanja with Ambanja. This preserves the authentic coloration of each locale and protects the value of your investment.
From common Veileds and Panthers to rare Carpet Chameleons, Nosy Faly Panthers, and Jackson’s Chameleons, CB Reptile offers a selection of captive-bred chameleon species that no single competitor matches end-to-end. All species, all locales, all life stages.
We stand fully behind every animal we ship. Our live arrival guarantee is among the strongest in the industry, and we back every purchase with a comprehensive health guarantee. Your satisfaction isn’t an afterthought — it’s what we’re built on.
Buying a chameleon is just the beginning. Our team provides detailed care guides for every species we sell and remains available to answer husbandry questions post-purchase. We want your animal to thrive for its entire natural lifespan.

What It Takes to Keep a Chameleon
Chameleons are among the most rewarding reptiles you can own — but they are not beginner animals in the traditional sense. They require thoughtful habitat design, consistent temperature gradients, and proper hydration through misting or drip systems. CB Reptile includes detailed care information with every purchase and our biologist is available for post-sale consultation.
Panther Chameleons, our most popular species, thrive with daytime temperatures of 75–85°F with a basking spot around 90°F, dropping to 65–70°F at night. UVB lighting is non-negotiable. Screen enclosures of at least 24″×24″×48″ are standard for adult males. Misting two to three times daily ensures proper hydration, gut-loading your feeder insects before every feeding ensures peak nutrition.
Veiled Chameleons tolerate a slightly broader temperature range and are generally considered more forgiving — making them the top recommendation for first-time chameleon keepers. Jackson’s Chameleons prefer cooler, mistier conditions reflective of their highland East African origins.
