Forbidden love

[MissSkittles]

Hammlet and Stella are at it again. As soon as I opened her enclosure, a receptive Stella climbed to the very top of her door so she could see her true love, Hammlet. While getting my step stool (kept next to Hammlet’s enclosure, I saw he had noticed his love and was dancing for her. Of course I had to record it!

Argh! Why won’t YouTube let me link the video? Well, here’s a couple of pics.

 

[MissSkittles]

Yay! Somehow I had my YT setting wrong, so now the video shows. Enjoy my handsome guy showing his best moves.

Hammlet is quite the dancer and so very handsome and looks so much like his daddy. The video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing it. You really should mate him. I bet a lot of people here would want a baby.

Such a nice video!! I think you do have to mate them now.

Wow thanks for sharing Hammlets courting ritual. Very enlightening didn't know about the tail display, is that universal through veiled's or is it a a unique talent ?

His dance was too beautiful not to share. I’m glad I had my phone at hand so I could record it. Couldn’t catch any pics or video of Kali eating her first roach though.

It does seem these two are fated to mate, but alas, they can’t. Stella had a papilloma/growth last year and could spread the virus to Hammlet and her offspring.
Stupid papilloma thing!

He’s my first and only male veiled so I have no idea. I know his leg moving around is just looking for something to grab…he was on a plant during his dance.

Its the tail flexing very intriguing

Might be time to move her a few cages away

Hammlet Is directly across from the girls. Think I need to move the curtain blocking their views of each other up higher.

They’re both beautiful chams and that dance Hamlet was doing with the tail displaying was awesome! It really is too bad they can’t mate.

What a gorgeous chameleon!

It’s like Romeo and Juliet lol

Maybe Hammlet will settle for Grumpy

The tail thing is normal for veileds during courtship...sometimes during aggression too I think.

It will be interesting to see if you end up with infertile eggs from this "sighting".

 

[Thatcher]

Both of my girls are most definitely receptive again (not having laid eggs since being receptive months ago!). Grumpy is doing her usual up and down and Stella is doing her circular patrol.
Due to space, I have all 3 of my enclosures next to each other and views of each other blocked off. Well, I found quite a surprise this morning. Sneaky Stella.

I felt so bad when I blocked their views of each other with a cloth after this. ?

Is the first a normal veiled? They are BEAUTIFUL!
