Abstract

Female veiled chameleons, Chameleo calyptratus, have a high fecundity and fast maturation, which makes them a suitable model species for squamate reproduction. We investigated the morphological follicular development of a group of 20 healthy, adult animals over a 12- month period using ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT). Four stages of follicular development could be distinguished by imaging diagnostics and were confirmed by histology: previtellogenesis, vitellogenesis, gravidity and atresia. Using a linear ultrasound t
