Snapped a few photos of Ziggy this week, how's he look?
He's about 1 year old now, maybe a little older since I wasn't sure on his exact age when I got him.
My only concern is his casque seems a bit small for his size? What do you guys think?
Also, besides waking him up at night, any...
I snapped a few pictures this morning, this is his day-to-day coloration, is this normal for his age?
Second picture he was getting pissed at the camera lol
I didn't know they had such a strong mouth, guess I will try using a skin colored glove later today, might have to use one of my wifes since i don't own any gloves besides my oven glove haha
I am not worried about him biting me, I don't think he can do much damage yet. I will just take my time, spend about an hour today just working on getting him to get used to my hands more.
He has no problem eating from my hands, I will hold a cricket by it's back leg and he will get it right...
Any suggestions for when he hisses and lunges at me? I am going to need to figure out a way to get him out to move him into his new enclosure in a few weeks.
I am hoping with the new lighting (1 UVB + 1 Grow Light + More Natural Light) will help, along with the lighter background of his new...
Well I figured since the sire was a special blue veiled, and I paid more for that, that he would get some blues, otherwise it was an extra $50 wasted. The colors aren't really a big deal, I was just expecting more.
His body is only about 5-6" long, not including the tail.
He won't let me...
He also seems a little on the small side compared to what I have seen others post.
I found two pictures I took last week with my phone, not the best quality but this should help for now:
First one was him sleeping:
Second is during the day, normal colors not fired up:
I can take a few when I get home this afternoon, most of the time is a medium green color, with some lighter green stripes. I will see if i can get one when he gets some treats today, he usually gets pretty bright when he gets his treats on Fridays.
I homebrew myself, I was really bummed when I saw this company because I wanted to call mine the same thing. I only brew twice a month, and not in large quantities to sell or anything but still wanted some branding. :D
He's never been outside of his enclosure. I know the setup I have is fine, I have posted for help in the past using the help form and was told everything was perfect. I am about to move him into a larger enclosure, with more lighting, which I am hoping will help somewhat.
Let me know if you breed, I might be interested in taking one of your hands. Ziggy is my first chameleon, but I am moving into a house this November and hoping to have a room dedicated to my reptiles, even my wife is getting addicted to the reptiles, especially the chameleons.
I have mad multiple suggestions about the care for their Chameleons at the PetsMart near me, and everytime the manager assures me they'll fix the problem. A year later, nothing has changed, but I noticed they do sell the Chameleons within a week or two of getting them in, so hopefully their new...
That's awesome! I was wondering how many other people on here had chams from this sire. When mine was the age of yours he stayed a dark green most of the time as well, mine never had yellow spots though.
I have had Ziggy since May 2011, he was 2 months old when I purchased him, which would make him about a year old. His sire was a "Blue" veiled from FLChams, and I figured he Ziggy would get some blues as well, but I understand there are no guarantees.
Most of the time he is a medium green, as...
