Since we moved into our new house, chameleons have been in their temporary location for about one month. So, today's task, in addition to cage cleaning, was to move Calcifer's and Kermit's cage to the front living room where we get to see them more often.
In our previous place, their double cage was in the living room, which had some low traffic and they would be able to see us. Their temporary location had been a bedroom and had human movement except for feeding/spraying. One strangeness I've noticed during this time was that Calcifer was acting less friendly by the day. I thought it was the stress of the move but, even after two weeks he would pretty much always be running into his umbrella plant when he saw me. Every once in a while, he would display a defensive stance as well. Kermit(female) on the other hand, had no problems whatsoever. She was in her usual behave-like-a-dog mood. One time while I was spraying Calcifer, he gave me a long stare and then jumped 4 ft down. Weirdo.
By moving them into an area that will provide similar characteristics of their previous location before the move, I'm hoping that he will get more acclimated to us. He's still my number one.
Here are two photos from today taken after the move. Enjoy!
Note: I'm still around It's been a busy summer.
