We stuck with veiled chameleons because we think they are so cool, but got a boy instead of a girl. His name is Sterling. He's doing great!

Hilarious! Sterling has a built-in nose sound too! *boop*

Thanks for the reply :) He is not actually two days old, as inferred by the quotes around birthday. It's just the day we received him. The company seems to be in good reputation so I am not not worried about that. Yes he is a male; has the tiniest little tarsal spurs you could imagine, but...

My boyfriend and I finally broke down and bought a new chameleon after our first veiled female, Ernie, ran away. I never would have thought that I would fall in love chameleons! Three years ago we first took her home and fell in love with every little thing she did. After going 2 years without...

This story has a bad ending. I never saw hide nor tail of her after that storm set her loose. We were hit with 2 pretty hard winters so she can't still be out there....doesn't stop me from checking.

It has been really hard the past two years without you. I searched for you for months, and still do now, even though I gave up hope once the first winter hit. You were an awesome, grumpy chameleon and you introduced me to a brilliant new species I never thought I would enjoy. We decided to...

Ernie VERY MUCH dislikes the paparazzi! Both my phone and camera freak her out. she hasn't realized yet that the iPad snaps pics...;) She's a sweetie when shes out of her cage, and was shaking paws with me when I pulled out my phone here. A SPLIT second after I pushed the button, she lunged...

Thank you! I have been doing this all week, but haven't spotted her yet. My kitten is not a very good hound cat; no help at all! I wish she were in an evergreen like Gizmo because she would stand out brighter at night, but pecans are about the same shade green. I need to round up the neighbor...

thank you everybody for your stories! i obviously know i'm not the only one who has had an escapee but it's good to hear affirmation, haha.

I'm glad to hear you found him!! What part of the tree do they like the best? I've looking about the first 15 feet pretty thoroughly, but my pecan tree doesn't have much higher climbing branches for me...do they go as high as they can, stay in the middle, or hang out on the lower branches?

Thank you all, I definitely need the encouragement. It is GREAT to know they choose just one tree, because she would be able to climb all 6 of them in my yard by going branch to branch. My little needle in the haystack. I'm pretty sure I know her general area and can even climb up in there to...

5 days ago while my little girl was just waking up after "camping out" in the beautiful southern air, a sudden wind storm knocked her cage over allowing her to escape. I've been searching for her ever since, looking especially at night, but my yard is surrounded by big trees and I am losing...

I once took my veiled Ernie to work (I worked in a small office filled with beautiful potted trees and etc.) She spent the day free ranging, climbing around a palm. She went out too far on one of the weaker branches which had been leaning on another branch, and suddenly it was too much weight...

Too funny! ....I just noticed you're from Venice--I went to Venice High, graduated 2008. My brothers live there still. I miss the beaches!

I found them! She laid them in the original hole, in her cage. I couldn't get to the spot before because of the foliage. Today I unattached the cage from the laying bin and voila! 36 little jellybeans, just as you said! I'm not sure what to do with them now. I have cats, maybe it'd be a nice...
