This morning I took some pictures of Herbie, he wasn't quite in the mood to show off his bright colors today especially as it wasn't too warm but here he is!

I love this guy, he is absolutely one of the coolest chameleons...can't wait to get another! :D

Have you shown him a mirror yet? The pose in that first pic is very acrobatic.

I've accidently shown him a mirror! He does puff up a tiny bit and brighten up, but the most he does is bob his head. He's not really an agressive one, he's never gaped or anything. I'm amazed by his temperament :)

He's a cutie. Is he really active? Mine likes to wander everywhere and is always on the go.

Oh yes he does! I have him in a 18x18x36 and he just wanders everywhere, I'm going to update him to a 24x24x48 and I bet he'll still want to not stay in his cage. If his door is open I never know where he'll end up! :D
 
Truth is that humans are the only thing he's ever seen for 90 percent of his life. He was fairly tame with me but he lived outside and that always makes them a bit edgy. You are one of the few customers to buy a nearly adult cham of mine and it is very interesting interesting that he transitioned so well and became even more docile. I think that, compared to outside (with the millions of birds at my place) he is like "man this is easy"!

He's great!! I mean occasionally he'll puff up a little and puff out some air to let me know that I was too quick in my movements, it's almost like he's offended that I didn't slowly pick him up. He's a character, I've had him for such a short time but it seems I've had him forever, I know his sleeping spots and what most of his movements supposedly mean...and I'm a crazy chameleon person now!

I can't wait to get another one from you Seeco, I'm really curious in comparing them and seeing their difference in personalities. I'm pretty hooked on these guys. :D
 
I spoke too soon, I brought Herbie outside for some sunshine. I set up a whole little structure for him and since he's bathing he does NOT want to be disturbed. Finally he started acting like a real chameleon and I laughed!

I think he's starting to establish dominance over you. He must have given up on flirting...
