Fourty centimeters of snow on the windowsill somewhere in the heart of suburbia. Both of us just stared... How many of these postcard sceneries can we still experience before the climate change takes them away for good?
*sigh of relief*
It was only the beginning of his shed! He's fine now, back to himself. Now you can see the white spots of loose skin before it begins to crack and fall off.
Thaks for your advice.
My bad! I thought that since you use the word paprika too it would mean the same thing, but the one I feed my guy is bell pepper / red pepper / capsicum...
I think the weather has something to do with him slowing down a bit in general, which can be seen as you...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon – Veiled male 9 months of age. In my care from 5 months up.
Handling – I handle my cham whenever he wants to come out. He's unusually friendly and comes running to me whenever I walk by. I never force him or take him from his enclosure, he'll climb to my hand if...
I thought I'd tell you guys how the healing process went. Yesterday the dark scab covering all of the tarsal spur came off and revealed the result. The wound is healed but I'm quessing he will always have a piece missing from his spur. Luckily he didn't loose anything important like a toe. It...
Hi neigbour, welcome to the forums! :)
Your cage looks awesome and so does the cham! Mine was just like that when I got him, now he's 9 months old already.
Best of luck to you with Kevin!
*kram*
The first and biggest surprise has been that my young male veiled is super-friendly and brisk! I had prepared myself to love and take care of a snappy or shy little guy but mine was just the opposite. How can I handle him once a week when he demands to get out of his huge enclosure at least...
Here's 7 more pictures, clearer and better. Could somebody help me with my questions based on these pics? I bought Betadine and have used it 2-3 times a day.
There's something wrong with a tarsal spur of my veiled male. The other one is bulgy, nice and pinkish, but the other one is dark (brown&grey) and it seems like the tip of it might be missing. The cham is active and uses his both hind legs. I took some pics yesterday morning and based on those...
Aww, how cute can one be?! I think Elly is a perfect name for her. Best of luck with all of them. Your chameleons are an inspiration for a rookie like me. :)
Thanks guys (/gals :D)!
Actually the tiny fella in that picture is doing exactly that! The first few days he seemed to be sure that my camera was trying to take his feeding dish away and he protected it fiercely, although he has been otherwise very friendly from the start. LOL! But he got the...
Thanks for both of you for comments. :)
I hope my 17 cm = 6.7 in (NTV) cham friend will continue growing and enjoying life inspite of the coming winter.
Aww, what a cutie! I love his colours the way they are now, especially the tail and around the eyes. But I'm sure he'll be stunning when he grows up.
(Thanks for the comment btw. :))
Goofy little veiled from Finland says hai!
I came to this family as a pretty tiny almost-five-month-old and now I've turned 8 months. Let me show you how much I've grown!
EXCITEMENT:
From this: (5 months)
To this... (7 months)
To this! (8 months)

I'm a great David Attenborough fan so naturally I recommend BBC dvd-series called Life in Cold Blood (2008). 5 amazing episodes of reptiles and amphibians in general, and of course lots of chameleons. There's even a panther on the cover.
