I have kept/bred/raised/hatched veiled chameleons for many years now. I have had many females live to be six years old and even older that have never been bred or even laid a single egg. I lost one last week that was 6 years old and was never mated. I have another that is still with me that is over 6 and one that is 4 .

I certainly wish that old "story" about veiled females needing to be bred as soon as they reached sexual maturity would go the way of the dodo bird. Its just not true.
