New skin, enhanced colour!

Monty finally started his shed yesterday - his last one was back at the end of March. He is showing some really lovely yellows greens and even a vibrant blue under his chin! He will be one year old on 3rd Sept and he will now have new skin for his first birthday photos!

He looks great!

He looks amazing! I'm seriously in love with the neon green He's grown so fast

He is looking awesome Tiff!!

The last picture is different and very cool. Beautiful Monty.

Thank you everyone! My little boy is growing up! He is almost a year old - just one week to go!

Mummies alive

He looks great

He looks great! I can't believe it was that long ago that he shed! Love the colors!

Tiff,,,, Monty is looking awesome!!!!!!!

Gorgeous man! I see why he's so special to you .

Beautiful! I hope my Reggie gets that color green!

By the way, do Jackson's (montaine) chameleons shed less often due to their smaller size? I have had my little guy (4 months) for about 4 weeks and no shed yet...

Jacksons d everything a lot slower than Veileds or Panthers, even shedding! When he was tiny he shed every 6 weeks or so compared to a baby Veiled that usually sheds every month. It's been a long wait, but so worth it to see his brighter colours emerging!

He is! I love him to bits! I got him as a tiny 7 week old brown scrap weighing just 2g! Back then, the goal was to get him past the critical 4-5 month age where things can happen out of the blue. I can't believe we have made it to a year old! He is the friendliest little man ever - he has never hissed or gaped at me either.

As I said above, I got Monty at 7 weeks old. He shed at about 8 weeks and then every 6 weeks or so, then nothing since March. There was a period of a good few weeks around that time when he didn't gain any weight either.

Thanks Miss Lilly, I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps

That blue on Monty's chin is beautiful - he's looking great for nearly 1 year old!
