I believe it means that as a very young cham it was showing potential to be something spectacular, so they hold it, don't sell it until it's older to see how it progresses. At that time (6-7 months) they determine whether to keep it or sell it.
I agree with the others, your cham looks like an Ambanja/Ambilobe cross. It does not look like a pure form of either. Where did you get him....can't you ask the breeder what the parents were, or see pics of them?
You PM'd me telling me your cham looked exactly like my Nitro (Ambilobe), but...
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. The last pic pays homage to the wild wild west. I love it too.
The foothills in the background are in Utah. I moved within the last month and haven't updated my location yet. :-)
He's Brilliant Suzi!!!! Topaz looks nice and beefy too, have you weighed him? Is he showing Red on his face and arms anymore, or has he changed to Orange now. He looks like a sweet puppy dog. :-) Thanks for the update! I need to get some new pics of Nitro up as well. Rob, how about some...
Thanks!!! He's such a nice cham too. I should have held off taking his pic until I got a chance to get him in the sun. After he comes in from sunning is when he shows his best colors.
Nitro turned 7 months old yesterday and decided to shed for the occasion. He finally finished getting the skin off his tail this morning so I snapped this quick pic of him.

Due to unforseen circumstances I need to rehome my Ambilobe Chameleon.
He just turned 6 Months old on 05/15/12. He weighs 85g as of today.
He was purchased from Suzi at Cali Chams

This guys is beautiful. He's as sweet as they come and loves being with me. He...
You're supposed to plug all your items into a Strip, then plug the strip into the timer. You will however need to buy the plug converter...3 prong into 2 prong.
I bought the Screameleons setup kit. When I got my first cham I had no idea which lights to buy, how cages were setup, etc. The...
Glad she made it safely. She's GORGEOUS!!! Nitro her brother is in my lap as I'm typing this. He's been crawling all over me for a half hour. If I leave him somewhere he chases after me and stretches his arms out. Suzi's chams take "Pet Chameleons" to a whole new level. Add the fact that...
