Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Longevity of Chameleons in Human Care: Insights into Lifespan and Care Chameleons can achieve impressive lifespans in captivity, contrary to the more common reports suggesting they typically live only a few years. This discussion draws on three case studies: females of Furcifer pardalis, a male Furcifer pardalis, and a male Calumma parsonii. These cases highlight significant age records for these species and analyze the optimal care conditions contributed to their longevity. Key words: Chameleons, longevity, captive care, Furcifer pardalis, Calumma parsonii
