[Ares05]

He is going to be a beautiful boy when he grows up! I am so happy you decided to get another, after flower. Be sure to get a fecal test or two before setting up his permanent home, to save you the trouble of later complications.

What breeder did you get him from, at the show?

 

[Coop]

I am going to do a fecal. (As soon as he poops again-he did it in the car). He is from highlighter chameleons.

 

[Ares05]

Ohhh those breeders

 

[jannb]

Congratulations! Pete is a real cutie!

 

[jannb]

Ohhh those breeders

That’s so sad. They should not be allowed to even own a chameleon.

 

[Coop]

Thank you so much! Pete is such a little cutie so far. I can’t wait for his colors to come through!

 

[Coop]

Pete isn’t showing any interest in his crickets. Could they be too small? They are as long as his head is wide, but most are a little smaller.
