I was told that male yemen chameleons only live for 5 years whilst females live for around 3years. Is this true? I thought they lived longer than that

8 years is supposed to be a good age for a yemen in captivity, but I know of someone who had one over 10 years. Dehydration and kidney failure is often the cause of premature death in yemens in captivity.

If a female Yemen lives for 4 plus years she is doing well. The egg production just wipes them out.
