chameleon viberating

[phil the cham]

hi my chameleon is about 2-4 months old and when he walks he vibrates, if anyone knows why, would be a lot of help thanks

Do you mean something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c7XiwSM-oA

If so, it is normal they are just trying to blend in and simulate a leaf.

I wish they would do that when they are older. Its hilarious when they try to do it while running in a hurry.

It is one of the cute little things they do. It is called the "leaf walk" but I am not sure if anyone really knows why and that they are actually trying to simulate a leaf or not.

Try to spot them outside when it's windy, then you will know why. I once left my female panther outside for a minute and couldn't find her, she just blended in with the leaf walk

Chameleons are really good at blending in! Sometimes I'll be looking for my veiled, up and down left and right, not able to find her.. then i realize shes right in front of me!

Once my chameleon was on my head, and it sounded like a bee was in my ear. It was Monty making a noise! Vibrating.
