Your chams are great. I am following your post but have nothing useful to add. Just wanted to say I love your pictures.

Thanks guys

In a few days i will complete his set up and I will post some pictures. Tomorrow I will take some pictures during balcony time. Im going to try to get some good pics of his best colors. He is really enjoying sun.

He is awesome. Im just waiting for my reptibreeze to be delivered so I can set up his new home. Currently he is in a small cage and i cannot put anything else inside and it still looks empty. I got some awesome ideas from setup thread, so as soon as i finish everything I will post some photos

Btw, yesterday my cham was all day hanging by the bulb(uv) and he was all dark in colors. All day he was like that. He ate,drank water, temperature was like every day. And he seriously doesn't like mealworms, he sees them as a threat , so im waiting them to turn to that thing before bug(dont know the word ) aand try to offer him that. Also in two weeks some b.dubia should arrive

Best Regards

Cool video! He looks like a happy guy

 

[marelacerta]

Tnx

But he will be more happy when I get him the company he deserves
Today I caught five flies and just released them to his cage,it was fun watching him hunt them down

Few pics of his enclosure. I think that is it, maybe some more vines if I find.





And some pics of my handsome boy

Just my cham getting the sun This is the safest way and I can keep an eye on him. Cause here are a lot of predatory birds, so I need him to be safe





Btw, he is bright on one and dark on the other side of his body. Sun side is dark,is this the way that he is soaking more sun?

That is exactly what he is doing. Neat eh?

He looks really good. I hope you find him a lady friend soon.

 

[marelacerta]

Pretty neat
He was doing that in the cage also,he hangs beneath the uv bulb and soaksup the heat. I hope my friends are going to find some female soon. He is really a big eater, every day 3,4,5 flies and few grasshoppers or moths or some house roaches(similar to b.lateralis).
