Aside from "Sunburst Veileds", are there any other dedicated efforts to "refining" the colorations of Veileds? With Panthers, Bearded Dragons, and Leopard Geckos (to name an obvious few) attracting alot of attention, I was curious as to whether anyone is focusing the same efforts on Veileds?

Wow...what a beaut.
My opinion? its going to take years and years to establish different veild "Morphs". Probably not worth the trouble either.
Just my thoughts, take them as you will.

Sunburst isn't a morph, it's not even a definite coloration. Every one I've seen is completly different.
Do you know the "original" sunburst vieleds were simply just high orange? Now, people see one with a lot of yellow, and call it sunburst. In fact, my male has more orange on him when he's fired up than any other one I've ever seen. He's also got a ton of yellow too.
It's a marketing thing. That's it. Now, some breed for high yellow, high orange, blue, etc. It's just that - there's no huge genetic difference, locale, or even mutation.
now, those pied veileds someone's been selling fromg Germany... Those are a mutation.

Pied, piebald... not sure. they're the "translucent" ones advertized. Ugly as sin, but interesting. As ong as it doesnt' affect their basking, might be cool.
I thought you might be referring to them, but thought of piebald as spotted. Anyway, yes, they are pretty weird looking. I have a translucent dragon and glad he doesn't look like them! My guess is that the trans chams (hey, cool name: trans-chams!)will have health issues at some point. I have no science or knowledge to base that on just speculation

Those veilds looked partial transluscent. There is a guy here in the us that has 100% trans veilds. They look like pinky mice when they are small. Josh

He doesn't advertise at all from what I know. There is a picture of one in a Japaneese reptile magazine from a few years back. I'll have to dig through my stuff to find it. The cham is in the sun on his hand, and you can see right through it(veins, guts, everything) They have been around for a while, that is why I thought 4000 dollars each is a little high. Josh
I too am interested.

Why, that's nothing more than a shameless plug.
Why is it that everyone with a nice looking chameleon just HAS to post the thing's image everytime the subject of "colors" comes up...
very good lookin' dude!

I've never been that keen on breeding for a color. Chams are so beautiful in all their natural variability I can't imagine improving on them. They are what they are...a product of evolution and successful adaptation in the wild. Healthy populations naturally have a lot of individual variation too. I know that captive animals don't need to be as successful or competetive as wild ones. I would always be worried that I was magnifying a negative trait along with the color that would result in a health problem, shorter life, or low reproductive rate. I don't have problems with careful quality breeding, but personally it wouldn't influence what I buy.
