Ive got an Oustie and love him! He is a little guy right now though. They do not get any bright colors. They are from Madagascar and they like it dryer than other chams. Which makes care for them a bit easier. You can google image them to see the colors but its mostly tans and browns.

These are the pics I promised. The Second one is after I just got him and set up his home. So he is a little bigger in the first one.
His name is Tomo. named him after the guitarist from my favorite band, 30 seconds to Mars.
I have hear ALOT about Vieled's, a bunch about leopards, some about jacksons, and very little about carpets, but NOTHING about Ousties! I feel kind of alone out here with mine.

I have had the same problem and I am just outside of Sacramento. I picked my guy up at the Reptile show but im in Citrus Heights. Let me know what u figure out!
So aside from the bickering that alot of these posts end up turning into...
I am really interested on a update on the guy! I cant believe what i would do if this happened to me so keep us updated please :D
Thanks! im sure i will be messaging you! Little Tomo crawled out onto my hand tonight. It was awesome but he didnt want to go back and i got things to do. lol. Well thanks for the info everyone!

Just got a baby Outsalet's from the reptile show in Sacramento. I have wanted a chameleon for a long time and the price/timing was just right! I didnt want a veiled but didnt want to shell out the cash for a leopard so I found one stand with one tank that had 4 Oustalet's out of the entire show...
