Durza just shed and apparently became crazy!!

[jpowell86]

Durza just shed and is feeling frisky. This is one of my chameleons that literally hates my guts....unless I'm holding food...and then he hates my guts again when it's gone. I don't know why, but every time I give him some space outside his enclosure, he has to come over to my desk and get in the way. I think its his way of saying piss off!!! He did it today while I was on the phone with a client and knocked a fresh glass of sweet tea(yes I'm in texas...it's apparently all we drink) all over my laptop and me. It was so embarrassing and not at all easy to explain to a client without seeming strange, incompetent, etc.. It didn't even startle him...he just carried on. Chameleons are all so different...but I love them the same....for the most part!

Beautiful! In the second picture he reminds me of a candy cane. My veil just shed for the first time since I've had him and he has been a bit grumpy today. Does the grumpy have anything to do with shedding?

Thank you!! Yes, the grumpiness is definitely due to the shedding in my opinion. All of my chameleons get a little on the irritated side when shedding. Plus, when shedding they just feel more vulnerable, so their emotions are exacerbated.

Adding a picture just to further my claim! My timers cut the lights to my reptile enclosures and I hadn't put Durza back in his yet. This is how he fell asleep....lmao!!
