Adoption, Popeye Update, and Cute Girls

Took a few pictures today I thought I'd share. The first two are not very good pictures of a very beautiful male nominate subspecies Jackson's chameleon. I adopted and received him this morning from Elisa and ChamEo. You do wonderful things, Elisa! As for the boy, I'm still trying to decide on a name. For some reason I feel like calling him Jesse. But might consider Tito. Not sure. Anyway, I was planning on keeping him in an 36x18x 18 cage outside but have decided to rethink that as it seems a little too small. In the meantime he's being spoiled in a 6+ foot tall cage so that he can effectively thermoregulate. He can't seem to get far enough away from me and my scary camera but I managed to get a couple blurry "see food" shots after he took a couple crickets from me. Ain't he purty?

Later tonight I walked past Popeye and noticed how very blue he was and took some pictures of him. As usual, none of them show the blue. At least not on my monitor. Anyway, it's been a while so here's Popeye's not so best side:

Finally, I took a series of photos of these two females on a stick. I went through all of them and cropped and resized the clearest of the bunch. Looking at them in this order now, I can't help but feel they're a little naughty for some reason. :eek:

I think I saw that jacksonii on FB. He is a beautiful specimen! Popeye looks great and those girls look like they are going to be very nice! Look at all that color on them! Have you seen what Janet thinks of the male yet?
 
Yep, that's the same Jacksonii from FB. :) I had to rush out of here for work right after I received him this morning and then, seeing his reaction to me, I just left him alone other than the feeding and watering. I'm real interested to see what her reaction to him will be so it probably won't be too long before I try.

Thanks everyone!
 
Wow a birthday present form Elisa, she sure is good to us isn't she? My quads from her are great. Enjoy the boy!
 
damn!, you sure those are girls?? wht vibrant colours on them..more like male colours:)but if you say they're girls then...
 
That Jackson is beautiful and those little girls are just so cute. :) It's always nice to see that Popeye's doing well. He's quite a handsome guy even if his true blue didn't show up in the pic.
 
Nice bunch o'chams! I love the colors on the T. jacksonii jacksonii - have only ever seen T. j. xantholopus in person. I vote "Tito".:D
