I bought him from a young guy that said he got him from Screameleons, and the binder he gave me had a care sheet for Ambanja. It looked like one he printed from the internet though, so I don't think that came with the shipment. Where it got weird was when I asked Screameleons who his sire was...
OK, here are a couple more pix, and if I'm correct isn't that a Y bar? Does this change anyone's opinions? I was not expecting to have 2 Sambavas now, even though I know they will still look different....lol
What's a U bar?
Unfortunately I didn't think to ask for bloodline info but K9 did when she looked at him and he said Ambanja from sire Gavan at Screameleons, hatch date Dec 2010. Is there more of a difference between locales than just coloring?
This is great dialogue, lots of learning...
Maybe I'll name him Woody...lol... I was going to let my two oldest kids submit 2 names each and then have a family vote, but maybe I should stick with the cowboy theme too!
I am going to fire him up tonight to see what happens. I thought I had fired him up before but he never got too orange or yellow, although his face does fire a lot of orange. Since I didn't have another chameleon (til last night), the mirror was the only thing I could do. I'll put him in the...
It is him! We should compare notes maybe.... Why didn't you get him? He's doing well and appears to have been well cared for but when I asked the kid why Screameleons had no record of him purchasing this guy he never responded to my texts.
You're right! We have brothers! Hatch date is same!
We'll have to compare photos from time to time.... I'll get some of my yet unnamed guy soon and post.
I know that I have learned a lot from this forum, so here's my experience to share:
Yesterday I purchased a 2.5 month old Sambava from Tom Kilgour of Kilgour's Chameleons. Tom did everything right - dropped the chameleon off late (8pm), shipped FedEx priority overnight, packed him with 2 heat...
I put a 50 Watt submersible aquarium heater in my bucket, it suctions to the very bottom and lies across the diameter of the bottom. I turned it to about 82, but when the mist comes out it still feels cool, so I might turn the temp up more on it. I think that when the mist droplets come out...
Wow, the guy acted like he was feeding 10 large crickets every day, so I've been hand feeding him that. He never turns down a cricket that I put in my hand, but maybe that's just prey drive. I created a cup system where he can just fire away on a cut out milk jug that has screen on it, but the...
Hi all, another newbie here, but very excited about keeping this newly rehomed chameleon. This is Louie, and he is 11 months old and was purchased at Screameleons. I became his new home after his previous owner was moving into an apartment and couldn't keep him anymore. I "think" he is a blue...
