Guinevere: Prison Break

[Olimpia]

Olimpia was nice enough to sit outside with me this morning, thinking that since I can't really free range unattended right now during the move that perhaps I would enjoy some time outside not in a cage.

At first it was nice, and I stayed there for a while.

But then I got antsy.

There were little lizards around and I debated whether to eat any of them.

Then I debated whether to shoot at a roach in the open insect bin or not.

I decided not, and wanted to go the other way.

But I changed my mind again and reconsidered.

But before Olimpia knew it, I decided to make my break for freedom.

I am a super clumsy runner, I now realize. Really embarrassing!

And then I was free!

But then Olimpia scooped me up and put me back somewhere safer. So much for the best laid plans of mice and men, right?

Wow, that is one pretty chameleon. It's nice to have some outside exploration time for them. What species is she?

 

[camimom]

That is a mellers chameleon. They get big.

and Olimpia, I love it! Shes gorgeous, you have done an amazing job with her.

I love everything about thise thread! Guinevere is one gorgeous Mellers, and quite the narrator

Edit: I love her stocky back legs!

 

[coldbloodedAL]

Hahaha! Pretty soon you'll have to worry about a multiple melleri overthrow!

Such wonderful chameleons melleri are, great job with her Olimpia.

 

[SMCNARY]

She is looking very good!!! Good narration also

Thank you! Yes, she's a Meller's (melleri) like Camimom said. She doesn't look anywhere near as big as she is in these photos! She's like your arm.

Thank you! She seems pretty content and is a lot happier about being moved around. I'm so excited to get working on her free range in the new house, but we don't move in until 3/1.

Thank you! I know, watching her waddle away was hilarious. It was like her feet and tail weighed too much for her.

Bring it, that's something I would love! Thank you!

Thanks!

I love story time she's beautiful

 

[pigglett79]

She is beautiful. I'm sure she enjoyed the outside time.

How much do people usually sell mellerw for? I would love to get one of these guys and a parsons some day!

 

[dlegare]

She's definitely a pretty lady.

Is she bummed out her escape plans were foiled?

 

[MissBritt]

What a pretty girl! I love the pics of her running, too cute!

 

[crocky]

Haha! Looks like she was plotting right from the start! . she is one good looking gal!

 

[Olimpia]

Thank you everyone! She did look a little disapointed but she got to explore something else, so it was all forgotten.

How much do people usually sell mellers for? I would love to get one of these guys and a parsons some day!

Definitely no where near as much as a Parson's, a WC may go for about $150 while a long term captive or a CB (even a baby) will go for more like $300, perhaps a little more.

nice pics!!

 

[chamcapture]

What a beautiful animal! By the way, The big crested gecko my son bought from you at the Orlando show is doing great!

 

[d3s5]

She is beautiful, Olimpia! Quite the character. Great story!

I love the way you put that to a story, very nice....Guinevere is gorgeous!.....I really feel jealous about you being able to live in an area with temps like that evey day, what a great place to raise chams.

 

[maxttu]

Melleri, oh melleri, how I love me some melleri! Awesome story with great pics!

 

[Olimpia]

Thank you! We just adore her, she in particular is such a gentle giant most of the time. And when she shoots food out of your fingers it's like getting flicked, there is so much power behind that tongue (that's as thick at the end as my thumb)!

Thank you! Awesome, I'm glad you like him!

Thank you! I know, we're in February and it's going to be 82* here. We do get a few days of cold at a time but this state really is awesome for these animals. I'm hoping to move and stick everyone outside, because I know that they seem so much happier when they're outside.
