He reminds me of my parsons. He's very slow and so laid back.
Hes very subtly beautiful Jann
Thank you Paul for the nice compliment.

Thank you for your kind words about Tate.
What a handsome little guy!!! He will fit right in with your other beautiful chameleons
Thank you Eric. He does seem like a good fit here. When I finished misting him he was standing on him back legs reaching and grabbing for me so I held him for a bit. Both yesterday and today he had a drink from the dropper for me.
He's beautiful.
Thank you Melissa.
Thank you Kevin. I was wondering about their life span???? The breeder said up to 5 years but another keeper here on the forums said they have a short life span. I hope not.
Thank you. I appreciate all of you guys putting up with all my pictures.
Awe, so completely super cute! I'm jealous! I saw that thread and wanted one but we have a strict "one chameleon" rule right now.
I'll have to live vicariously through you!
Thank you! Adding a new pet is a big responsibility.
Thank you! For now I have him a free range tree in Sadie's room. It had been empty since Sadie passed away. After he settles in I'll have to see his reaction to the boys. I know he saw Sage for a minute today and neither had a reaction to each other.

About the lifespan, they are very closely related to veileds my assumption is a similar lifespan. I have read the lifespan is shorter but these are generally wild caught, and or kept by inexperienced new keepers and are attractive to people who want an inexpensive chameleon. So I'm suspicious about that claim.
It seems to me a healthy, well cared for captive bred would do as well as a veiled if not better because of the limited likelihood of any inbreeding.
This is my semi educated guess, no actual experience.

I can personally attest that Tate is adorable in real life. Of course so was all of the other chams and critters at Jann's house, but I don't want to make anyone jealous of my road trip today

Thank you Deb! He is a little cutie for sure and has the most laid back personality.
Thank you for your input Dan. I hope I'd do ok with this little one. I'm going to try my best.
Thank you Jennifer!

Thank you for you comment about Tate. He is just so sweet. If you hold out your hand to him he will slowly crawl on.
I'm not sure why some think I'm getting allot of chameleons. After Sadie passed away in July I had the smallest number since my daughter left her 7 panthers with me in Nov. 2010 and I had my four.
Now having 11 was a bit too much for me but some how I managed.

Thank you! I am amazed at how friendly he is. The breeder has 3 daughters and I bet they played with the babies all the time.

I currently have 6 chams.
My two senior citizen panthers, Jr and Hendershot
My two Parsonii, Hera and Cooper
My veiled Sage and now my Graceful Tate.
