Cham With No Name

maxttu said:
Thank you so much for the advice. Since Saturday he has had approx 15-20 dubia nymphs (that I've seen him eat) and about the same #'s in calci-worms. The dubia are gut-loaded with carrots, oranges and bugburger. His urate is snow white and yet I don't see him drink. I do have an aquazamp that goes off every hour or hour and a half.

His exposure to the sun has been limited to about 5-6 hours since Sunday. I have planned on getting the fecal, but not sure of a timeline.

Have you previously worked with or are you currently working with verru's? Thanks again!

HAHA! Sounds like he has a good appetite!

It’s been a thousand years (no lie) since I had any verrucosus. Don’t worry your guy doesn’t look sickly or anything just ever so slightly thin. Who knows what he has been through before you obtained him. Now that he is has some proper conditions he should bounce back quite quickly. I only suggest the fecal at some point just to make sure there nothing on the inside that would cause that thin body tone.

Cheers,
Trace

I hear ya! What would you "guesstimate" his age to be? The vendor thought around a year and I'm thinking not so much. He's approx 5" snout to vent...Thanks!
 
Oh, did I mention how much I love the fact that he eats the dubia?? I'll be sure to get crix ever so often to give him the varied diet along with some butters and calciworms... ;)
 
Whoa duuude!!! He's got some sick colors! I've changed my mind now about you getting an Oustalet's, glad you got a Verrucosus. Don't get me wrong, I love Oustalet's, but your guy just looks remarkable.
 
Verrucosus ( Giant Spiney ) chameleon get large. He is nowhere near a year old. We had one at the reptile center that was all of 20 in from end to end full grown. He will need large food items such as roaches eventually and not to mention large living quarters. A real impressive chameleon when full grown one of my all time favorite. With such a fast growing chamelon calcium supplemetaion is crucial for proper bone development. Have fun with your giant.
 
Draco??

How about Draco? First thought when I saw your pics were tiny wingless dragon. Awesome cham by the way!

Edit: just did a search on the name and it seems like a few guys have used that name already... Oh well..

I have approx 800 dubia (all sizes) and growing as I type. I have the Repashy All In One, is this sufficient for supps or should I use others in conjunction? Any advice is appreciated as I've found some good info but limited... Thx!

Thx, man! I didn't realize his colors and patterns until a day or so after bringing him home! He's a cool lil dude! :)

Yeah, I highly doubted the vendor when he guessed his age and then he lost ALL credibility when he didn't know he had verrucosus, only knew them as Giant Spiny. He had to look it up when I told him... :/
 
All for the Game of Thrones idea someone had... Awesome series! The Queen of that tribe had 3 baby dragons, it would be interesting to research their names! Outstanding looking animal, I love the Giant Spineys!

Thanks! :)

I seriously considered naming Bodhi that. I figured I would save it for another Cham. Veiled's don't seem dragon like to me. I also looked up the dragons names. I think there are 7 main "legendary dragons" in the series (I'm a total geek.. that show is the best sh*t ever). All of the dragons died off before the queen gave birth to the 3. We will find out more in season 2 and I can hardly wait (Just a few more months)! You can do a quick google search and find out all of the names though. Out of all of them, I like Targaryen the best. It seemed like the easiest to pronounce and sounded more like a Dragon. OP, if you haven't seen that show/read the books, I highly recommend you do so. Start from episode 1. It is epic and you will hardly be able to resist that name after you watch it. Lol. It's an HBO show in case you didn't know. Good luck with the names. :)
 
Y'all have been fantastic! Thanks for the advice on names and general care for this lil guy! Keep 'em coming! :)
 
i would stick with the Dragon theme and maybe go with Aragon, Flint, Ash, Ember, something like that.
