Here is finally an update on Leo and Drakes' growth during the past several months. It's been a long winter here so they're both anxious to get some real sunshine this spring. At least I'm anxious for them. Leo's growth has been steady and he's leveled off pretty much at around 214 grams...

It's been a while since I've provided an update on here about Leo and Drakes' growth, so I thought I'd finally get it done! At least I know Carol will appreciate it! In spite of my worries about low room temps, it looks like both chams are still growing and doing well. As of today...

During this month I was able to install a heating system for the Mistking water. I haven't made a post about this just yet, but I may still do that if there is some interest. I bought a heater for about $20 on ebay, and it does heat the water at least a little bit. However I do wish it would...

Hard to believe that Leo and Drake are already 10 months old. Now I have to start thinking about how to handle the cold winter coming up. Not looking forward to this very much. My Mistking has been working great. I was worried a bit about overwatering the plants, but they seem to be doing...

August is almost over so I thought I'd go ahead and post the August growth record. As expected, Leo's growth is started to slow down a bit, but he still has some growing to do. Of course I believe chameleons have indeterminate growth, although someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong. He...

This month there were some amazing changes in Leo! I was actually gone on vacation for two weeks during this month and when I came back Leo was noticeably bigger and more colorful. It was like coming home to a new cham! I'll post his entire growth record (by weight) with the July entries...

Leo has had a growth spurt this month I think! I was worrying a bit that he might be behind the norm for his age, but now I think he's caught up. His weight has nearly doubled during this period. Here are his weight records for this month: 6/05/2010 29.6 g 6/12/2010 36.9 g...

There was a lot of growth in May, especially toward the end of the month. At the beginning he weighed in at only 13.8 grams. I was starting to worry that he was small for his age, but by the end of the month I think he was catching up. I don't have a weight for him near the end of the month...

Here he is in April, so if he was hatched on Nov. 21, then he is going on 5 months old here. He seems a bit small for his age here, at least compared to some of the other pics I've seen on the forum. But then again, I don't know his exact birthday and who knows how accurate everyone else is...

Here are a few pics from March. Leonardo is around 4 months old in these pics and I have the pics time-stamped.

As stated in the previous entry I received Leonardo on January 27th and his approximate hatch day was November 21st. I received him therefore when he was about 8 weeks old. This blog entry shows some pictures taken of him during the month of February, when his age was in the range from 9 to 12...

A brief history: I purchased Leonardo form Kammerflage in January and had to wait for warm enough weather for him to get shipped to me in New England. He's a sambava panther chameleon and his sire is Poncho. Kammers sent me the largest and "calmest" from the clutch and I was the first in...
