Does she always try to eat the camera?

They both are gorgeous!

Hello all! I'm Drew I have one Sambava whom turns 2 months the 27th. I thought I had a name picked out, but the one I picked isn't sitting well with me. I also have two tortoises. Anyway, I work with autistic children as a behavior specialist and I'm also a photographer which is why I am...

I went back and forth between Sambava and Ambilobe abd ultimately got a Sambava.

Are Chams opportunistic feeders like torts?

I that with torts when they start trying to eat rock and concrete they are usually missing nutrients.

Thank you. I didn't think they showed that much being that young. I thought they didn't start showing colors until they were around 4 mths old.

Lol the photos I have I took on my phone and I don't like how the phone processes them, but I will share a couple. The first shows some of the green that has been coming out.i the second shows the white brown and greens. The last shows the browns, yellows, and reds. All taken today.

If you believe they should live like wild chams do in the wild then why do you own one? Why not let it live in the jungle instead of in a cage?

I know this is an old post but I love this photo! I busted out laughing as soon as I seen it going into this thread expecting a wee one with no expression and then BAM! There he is like Godzilla lol

they are so adorable!

I didn't realize how many different colors they can express as babies. Orion is almost two months old and has expressed blacks, reds, oranges, greens, whites, browns, yellows, and a light brownish/orangeish/pink color. It's a really neat experience!

Again, reptiles can learn to tolerate people. My sulcata tortoise is a few months shy of being a year old. She has learned to associate me with food. She tolerates me handling her for her soaks and other maintenance, but she still after almost a year is still scared of me. Tolerance can easily...

The thing with reptiles is that they can develop an association between two stimuli for example they could associate you with food or something else which drives their behavior, but that doesn't mean that they still aren't scared of you. What it does mean is that they can learn to tolerate you.

being a behavior specialist and degrees in psych, I don't actually think she meant fear conditioning. These animals are already born with an innate sense of fear, so being in captivity with their owner a giant predator we become the stimulus that causes fear I our chams regardless of our intent...

Yeah, he is tiny. He just had his first s shed yesterday and today he was showing some reds and yellows and lots of whites.
