Thanks so much everyone! He's still got a bit of growing/developing to do. He gets more amazing with each shed.
It's funny, he didn't react to mirrors at all for the first 7 months. Then one day he noticed the "other chameleon" and now he flares up instantly at a mirror.
Gunther's first fire up for the camera! Enjoy the pics of my little boy, he just finished up a shed.
Before...
Getting there....
Angry!
Still angry, even when not in front of the mirror...
* I do not stress him out regularly, I only do...
MORE GUNTHER PICTURES!!! He fired up for the first time today and I missed it! I got the tail end of it when he was going back to green
He fired up completely yellow with a red face and tail!!!! :D
Just a quick update, I found a female for him!!! It's going to be quite a while before they breed (she's just a baby), but this is just a pet project for me. I only have room for a couple snakes so she and my pied are it for now.
She's just a baby, but here's the breeder's picture.
Great minds think alike!!! I'm looking at a super pastel female right now to raise up and breed (just waiting on an updated picture of her). I'm hoping (in a couple generations) for a super pastel pied. It's kind of my own little project, and I'll just sell the extra babies.
Lol, I waited and saved and then waited and saved some more. It was sooo tempting just to give in and buy a pastel or something but I held out!
It took me forever to find an animal with decent white for under $1000. And I can't believe how much they were when they first came out, I'm so glad...
I saw them at a show for the first time a while back and knew I had to have one. It just took me forever to save up for one!
Thanks! He was $800 shipped. They only way I justified the price was telling myself I'm going to breed him to a super pastel and sell the babies.
Here he is!!!
He's super shy, so please excuse the terrible photos. This is the first time I've had him out in the week and a half I've had him. Next time I promise the pics will be better.
He's a bit more friendly in his cage.
And here's the breeder's picture.
Thanks everyone!!!
I'd love to get him a free range but I'm so afraid of my dog getting too close. I've got a tree out front I let him climb all over for a couple hours on sunday mornings when it's sunny.
This is why I'm afraid to let him free range.
chameleonsonly, the kammers. And thanks!
I'm sooo happy he likes me. Now if only I can get my python to feel the same way about me I'll be happy.
Thank you! They did all the work breeding him. I just feed him.
More Gunther pics!!! Not too many today, I'll add more later.
I love coming home because when he sees me walk in the room he leaves his basking spot and comes to the front of the cage. I open the door and he comes out. Sometimes he climbs up my shoulder, sometimes he just sits on his cage...
