(Watch the video to see what i mean)

Hey, this is my first post, and ive had my red bar ambilobe chameleon, Boba, for about 2 months now... and he is really shy around stuff! My camera, me, anything that he finds weird... lol

He rarely gets angry... he's very well behaved!

He is almost 5 months old and purchased from Screameleons!

Thats pretty funny how he keeps just going around your finger. I've seen them do it, just not to that extent. Silly critters.

Welcome. I just purchased my Ambilobe from Screameleons also.

i have only one cham that does that. a female veiled. the others just don't seem to care or hide behind some thicker plant growth.

Wiz does that too, I dont know why but every time I take him out with the fan on he reaches for it. I know he doesnt like me, but the whirling blades of death above cant be much better.

LOL exactly!!! i had him on a kabob stick and he still tried to hide on the other side of it... even though he was clearly too fat to hide!

yeah! im tryna figure out what is his fascination with the fan... i mean... arent chameleons supposed to be afraid of movement, especially from above like a bird or predator? i kinda want to build him a little twirly toy for his cage now since he likes it so much...

like a cat with yarn lol

yeah... funny thing is he really likes being out of his cage... but sometimes he just gets it in his mind that he has to hide... hes not threatened or mad... i kinda feel like he is playing hide and go seek with me.

 

[GodsSpeed]

hes a very funny chameleon... he always does funny stuff.

he should be a chameleon comedian.

His sire is Bolt. He was born 7-18-11. Can't wait for him to start to take on color
