I think this may just be "growing up" as the previous post suggests, but as an alternate theory, make sure you are not wearing anything that is setting him off. The other day I walked into the chameleon room wearing an orange baseball cap with a blue logo on it. My normally shy male carpet...
Mark,
I think the thing to be aware of is that total newbies and highly experienced keepers are on this site all the time. Just in the short time I've been lurking on here, I've seen everything from "what do chameleons eat?" to very detailed discussions on husbandry and breeding.
Just...
I've had 1.1 carpets since December. CB from Jim at Chameleon Company. Very fine specimens from Jim. My first time with Carpets, and MAN are they shy!
In all that time, I have only seen either of them eat once, and I had to go full ninja to catch that glimpse.

What do you think of Grubco?
I have a pair of Carpets coming my way in the next week or two - they will be the first chameleons I have kept in over ten years, and I cannot wait! In the early '90's I had a beautiful pair of Parson's and fed them a variety of insects from Grubco. At that time I...
