I've been leaving Derp's door open whenever I'm home just because. It hasn't been an issue in the past month we've been together since he has never tried to crawl out. Today, he woke up an adventurous spirit. I walked away for a few minutes and couldn't find him. Finally realized. I took him in...
He's starting to get a good bit of turquoise now :) I'm quite excited about it! Though the pictures don't quite do it justice.
Also, I'm not sure why one of them will only load upside down.
3 months and eating like a growing boy should.
He had no idea what to make of it! A car drove by and he instantly shrunk back behind the edge onto my hand, and turned dark brown for about 30 seconds. Then crawled right back up and peeked over.
We went outside for a little sunlight today on the balcony. It was our first time outside together!
He wanted to check the edge out, but refused to let go of my shirt...
He didn't really want to be on anything other than me..
I would get a separate heat bulb. Just a regular house bulb, try 60watt. Make sure it isn't the energy saving kind since those don't produce much heat. You can get a shop light fixture from home depot for less than $10 to put it in, just get one as wide as possible so the heat isn't specifically...
I take my plan of action back. I've had too much time to get extra paranoid. I'll probably call my vet in the morning and see when the soonest I can get in is...
My plan of action at the moment is just to make sure he stays supplemented and give him until the end of next week. Extra sunlight outside probably isn't a bad idea. If this time next week he hasn't improved any, to the vet we will go. If it is indeed MBD I want to get it confirmed with tests...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - 3mo male veiled, I've had him 3 days (Aug 20.)
Handling - I would say moderately, I carry him to and from his enclosure to the ficus in my living room so he can get used to the whole area.
Feeding - The first two days, only superworms. Today, 12 crickets and 1...
Certainly! I posted enclosure pics awhile back in the enclosure thread, I've since moved around a little bit of the foliage to make an area in the back for him in the shade.

There are are also gauges in there, they just didn't get in...
Thanks! He didn't seem stressed though, it may not look it in the picture but he stayed a pretty bright green most of the night. He didn't want to go in his cage, he either wanted to stay on me or the ficus in my living room. He was not excited for bedtime.
Derp made it to Louisiana safe and sound today! He's been quite the delight so far. I had him shipped to my parents' house since my apartment complex has a problem with losing packages, I unboxed him there and let him ride home with me in a small bird carrier. He decided he was going to hang...
My little man has made it all the way to Louisiana and is doing absolutely fantastic!
He can't seem to stop climbing all over my head, which is fine with me. I'm tickled with him :D
