Photos of my guy :)

This is Drama, my 17 week old Graceful. I got him at 13 weeks. Its amazing how much he's grown already. He doesn't run anymore when I open the door to feed & mist. He's come out twice to hang out on my head - which seems to be a common theme amongst chameleons

I was home sick last weekend and got to spend all day watching him. I usually only see him on the top 2 branches of his enclosure, but obviously I miss a lot while I'm at work. He was exploring all over, showing his beautiful green stripes and spots.

Below are some photos of his enclosure & him

Enclosure 1

Enclosure 2

First time in his new home.

In his favorite spot.

Getting ready for bed.

Peek-A-Boo!!

SPOTS! He's not too fond of my camera and huge lenses so I can never get him before his stripes disappear!

He is really cool. I just added Gracefuls to my ever growing list....

He looks good, but I would add alot more foliage in that cage for him.

nice cham an i do agree with abit more foliage, a nice big ficus would go great in there

I went tonight after work and got him a Ficus. It was so big I split it in two and now he has something to hang out on when he wants to come out of his enclosure. I had to do some extra trimming to the top... he was getting too close to he heat light.

Let me know what you think!








Checking out the new branches! I don't think I'll ever be able to find him again, lol.

He looks so much better than when you got him. Doing an awesome job

Thanks! He seems to be enjoying it so far. He woke from his typical branch & ate this morning with no problems.

While I was tearing the tree apart and re-potting them last night, my husband walks in our apartment and stops dead, I guess I looked guilty and he started to rubber-neck near the chameleon cage. I said don't worry, I didn't get another creature, just a new tree!

He even held Drama as I was rearranging his 'space.' He is very tolerant of the chamy, but not so much of the crickets.

Ryan - your Graceful's are beautiful. How long have you had them? Do you have any tips or secrets to share on their care or keeping them happy?

Updated Photos!

Here's a few updated photos of Drama.

He came out for a little while. We started out watching Metallica.... when Megadeth took the stage, I swore I heard him say "Megadeth SUCK!'

"WTH is it with you and that damn camera?!"

Lastly, my personal favorite of him so far

Updated Photos - 6 Month Mark!

I have had Drama now for 6 months, it's amazing to see the photos at the beginning of this thread, and to look at him now. He's so much more vibrant, physically and mentally. He even ate in front of me for the first time not too long ago - I could barely contain my excitement!!

These were taken November 23, 2012 (Same day as Pixel's).

Raik trying to help...
