Daedalus turns 1 today

Today my little chubby boy Daedalus turns a year old!

In early fall of last year I contacted the Chameleon Company for a second Nosy Be, because as some of you may know, my first one turned out to be a very unique yellow guy and I still wanted one of those bright blue ones everyone else seemed to have! So when I opened up his bag, I remember seeing this adorable little guy with lots of red spotting and I was elated. And then when the breeder saw my proud new photos he let me know in a conversation that he realized after seeing them that he'd made a mistake and that I had a Nosy Faly-Ambanja cross instead. It seemed like I wasn't getting a solid bright blue Nosy Be this time either, but I didn't care, I was madly in love with him! :D And I still am, he has the most delightful personality of all my panthers.

He recently had an accident with his tail and it required amputation (which I think makes him look chubbier! lol) but he's doing fantastic.

Here he is! From Day 1 -

Happy hatch day!!! He is awesome looking. What happened to his tail that you had to amputate?
 
Thanks everyone!

Texas, thank you, I would agree! I've always wanted a Faly so now I have half of one :D It's too bad I don't have a female to show him because I'd love to see what colors he's hiding under his typical calm tealish color. He's too tolerant to get fired up by anything else.

Rob, I'm not quite sure but I think he got the end of his tail caught on something when I moved (or banged around in his travel box) and the end broke. Two weeks later it turned necrotic and we had to amputate. But the death kept creeping up so we had to take off another bit and he's been doing well ever since.
 
Oh I had a feeling that it got pinched/smashed and got necrotic actually lol. Is it doing better now?

Yea lol Poor guy, that's what happened. But he's doing fine, he can use what's left and will use it more as he gets used to how short it is.
