The Change

Today before lights out Zulu fired up like never before, he truly changed into a different cham. Lost most of red but still awsome nonetheless. I heard chams change like this every so often, maybe he will go back to being red

here are some before and after pics. Hope you like them





BEFORE- the date is wrong btw, it was in 2011 not 2007, he changed within 1 month time





AFTER-TODAY

I think i like the new zulu

Dude, they almost look like 2 different Chams!

Whoa! I do like!
Great pictures!

One great looking cham either way man! But I think im liking new Zulu a bit more

Wow, that's crazy. Looks good though.

I like the red, but really like the yellow.

WOW Ace! That is simply amazing.

Good Zulu Colour changing is fun

That is wild, his colors are way different now. He's very vibrant and colorful in both forms though.

Wow, he changed just like my Oscar did!! So weird...but he's still super handsome!!

Amazing creatures! He looks beautiful both ways!

he is gorgeous either way!!. I wonder if there is a scientific explanation for that! it is very strange!!

Wow ace this is amazing I've seen Zulu in person before when you took her to the meetings and the new picture looks like a total different Cham.

Oh my gosh! Hes totally different I love it!!

Ace, You have nothing to worry about!Zulu's new colors are just as epic as his old colors..

Wow!

Great looking cham, must say I do prefer red. Beautiful either way.

My boy did they same thing. https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-difference-shed-makes-62882/

He actually changed his colors again. his bars are now maroon and blue and his spikes are maroon now.

The girlfriend thinks he is broken since he isnt' bright green and purple bars anymore.

I have an ambilobe that did the same thing... he is a proven breeder and was red,green, and blue at rest, fired up with red, yellow and orange. Now he is yellow-bodied blue bar with some white, pretty and ready to breed,but I wanted the red. I kept a male out of him and a female from a really red line and have no clue how he will turn out or if he will change like the sire did.

thats interesting, your description fits perfectly to how my guy turn out, would be nice to figure out why it happen, I would like to believe despite he changed colors he still has that awsome red color genes he can pass onto his future offspring, I am gonna try again at another female again, from either another Hyperion female or somewhere else, depends. Post pics of your chams when you can!!!





Thank you everyone for the kind words!!!!
