General Cham Chatter

[Mdennis86]

Hello everyone!

This is my first Cham, I've had I believe "him", for a few months now. I take him outside a few times a week when it's nice weather and he turns this color when outside. What're everyone's thoughts? Mostly thoughts on attitude and stressed sure to the color change. I've read different things. Thanks everyone!

Man, his colors are stunning. Make sure you're watching him around that soil, if he were to eat any it could cause an impaction. Never know, he might see a fly or something buzz along into the soil and grab a chunk of it with his tongue.

If he's a Jackson's Xantholphus. I can't see the spines on the back well enough to tell for sure, then he's a boy.
Do you know the species for sure?

My reasoning is that he has three horns starting. Only male jacksons and females of the T. jacksonii jacksonii have 3 horns. Since Xanths are more common the odds are that it's a boy.
