Looking for interesting Chameleons Escape stories! Come on everyone has experienced that " you turned your back and your Cham was gone!" The Scare that gave you that inside confused/scared feeling? So lets hear it no matter how intricate or insignificant! lets hear it for good reading sake? I'll start this off.
Years ago I had a female Vield "Athena" she was friendly and very awsome around people. So I free ranged her around the house. For the pure enjoyment of how she loved to interact with us. Well kicking back on a warm summer day, I left the door open and placed a 3 foot tall piece of plexiglass securely in the opening. She loved to look out.
I accidentally dozed off on the couch, suddenly bounced out of my unplanned nap & Crap! my quick cook pizza was burning in the oven. Yanked it out, fliped on the Fans opened a couple windows more, so the alarm wouldn't sound.
O yea the Lizard. O no! she was no longer where I last seen her. I check all her usual places to be to no avail. I check everything again very well.
It dawns on me she has managed her way out the house. I think she scaled the entire edge of the door, up over and somehow out. Crap! im panicking now as i know a half hour had passed since "my pizza was burning." and if outside she could be long gone! I looked about out there for another half hour when I decide to get a set of my binoculars and scan the trees.
Sure enough there she was up in a 100 foot tall tree, easy to see somewhat as her lime green color was lighter than the tree leaves. Problem now she was 30 feet up in the tree & smiling down at me. Luckily, I had a long ladder used for painting the high parts of the house. Got it leaned into the tree climbed up and she was still 2 feet out of reach in some pretty flimsy branches. Ha, a thought came to mind since she was a eating machine. I grabed a Mealworm went back up and thank GOD! she was hungry. She came down onto my hand and back inside!
Luckily a good ending!
