Chameleon Life Cycle. First the adult lays an egg , then the egg hatches and out comes the baby chameleon , then the baby chameleon grows up , and after it grows up. Labord's chameleons grow up fast.

From laying of egg to kicking of bucket, the lizard’s entire life is played out in a year and 7 months of that is spent inside the egg. The unusual life cycle of the chameleons is more similar to insects than reptiles or other tetrapods, the researchers said. The labord's chameleon has the shortest life cycle of any vertebrate.
