Parasites are a very common problem in chameleons, particularly in wild-caught<\/a> animals and those captive-bred<\/a> in large breeding facilities. Generally speaking, a distinction is made between endoparasites and ectoparasites. Endoparasites are those that colonise the inside of a chameleon. Ectoparasites, on the other hand, are found only on the chameleon\u2019s skin. Parasites vary in how \u2018disease-causing\u2019 they are for chameleons: some are very harmful even with a minor infestation, whilst others remain harmless for a long time.<\/p>\n

This article aims to provide an overview of the most common parasites found in chameleons, including how they are transmitted, their life cycles and how they can be detected. No treatment options are recommended here, as both the diagnosis and treatment of a parasitic infestation should always<\/span> be discussed with a vet specialising in reptiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n
