Appreciate your honesty David. The correct answer is four.
Chameleons have four layers of skin:
1. Epidermis: The outermost protective layer.
2. Chromatophore layer: Contains pigment cells (melanophores, xanthophores, and erythrophores) responsible for creating the chameleon’s vibrant colors.
3. Iridophore layer: Reflects blue and white light, contributing to the chameleon’s overall color.
4. Dermis: The deepest layer, which supports the other three layers and contains blood vessels and nerves.
