I was wondering if having red/blotchy skin reactions to a chameleon crawling all over your arm was the norm, but unlike yours, mine didn’t days to heal. Ouch ☹️ if you try to take Eustis out again soon, maybe you can try to get him on a stick instead of your arm? Spare your poor skin. Definitely...
Adam (the breeder at Lonestar Panthers) did specifically mention on his website where this cham was listed for sale that he had a tongue defect (it was even reflected in the price I paid for him). I direct messaged him about it, asked a whole laundry list of questions about his lineage, what his...
For sure!
I know your little guy is naturally very shy. Has he acclimated to you at all? As much as a little chameleon can acclimate to a person at least, haha. Didn’t you say he came from Petco? He is so, so lucky to have ended up with you, Linda!!
So, several of us have seen this happen then. I’d only heard of head bobbing in the context of a male showing interest in a female, and there certainly aren’t any around my chams.. Not by miles, lol. The door to Bastion’s cage is acrylic, so I had wondered if he was maybe seeing his reflection...
It’s happened to me twice, now. And it’s all coming from my newest boy! He even had the stripey colors on his eye turrets that male panthers usually display when they see a lady nearby. Not sure what to make of this beyond offering him a cold shower.. 🤔
Could it be a defensive behavior?
i do in fact have two now! 😁
Thank you!! He’ll take 3 or so bugs right from my hand before he starts climbing around his cage, pretending he doesn’t want what I’m offering. Even if he ever wants to be friends, I can love him from afar for all his weirdness haha
I finally got my second panther cham :)
His name is Bastion, and he’s a blue Ambanja from Lonestar Panthers (Adam is awesome!). Since the very beginning of my journey with him, Bastion has 100% been my special case lol. He was born with a tongue defect and can only shoot it a very limited...
Seconding a summer celebration. Got my boy Beau on July 28 (one whole day before my own b-day). Also have a new boy whose hatch date was the 28th! 😍
Ground lion feels very fitting.
Thank you everyone for the kind words! 💖 We’ve been through a lot in a year and it took a little while for Beau‘s true colors to show. Now he’s like a neon green light bulb that’s constantly on.
Beautiful!! ❤️❤️ Naturally I think that all your reptiles are amazing, but Chester really got to me 😭 haha. What kind of chameleon is Kecleon? Hoehnelii/helmeted?
Can absolutely relate to this. Last month, some of my pantanal roaches got out. I found them around Beau’s cage where I had just used the wet vac.. I hadn’t yet had the chance to mop, and with coccidia to contend with, I couldn’t risk putting them back and infecting the whole colony. Two adult...
