Is this an angry cham?

OMG - I thought Olive looked thirsty so I decided to start her dripper again and ... BAM - look what my pretty green Olive turned in to!!! I tried to pull the hose out and she started rocking back and forth too.

I must have put the dripper hose in to the enclosure too far???

I assume this is her pissed off look? Who knew!

Her "chin" isn't as puffy any more and she's drinking the water, but she's seems to be holding on to the black stripes.

Now I'm getting worried that she's older than I thought she was and I need to get that egg bin started STAT - opinions??

So is her dripper hose not left in place most of the time? She may be worried about this odd thing that appears and disappears from her territory.

The "shaking" back and forth is meant to be a threat, so if she is exhibiting this behavior, she obviously doesnt like that dripper

well it sure worked - I was threatened! God, I love her - every day is a new lesson. I would leave the dripper in there, but I can't seem to shut it off - so water pools. I only put it in once or twice a day for an hour or so - I mist the walls several times a day too and she likes chasing drips down the side of the glass. Since I'm waiting for the screen enclosure to come I figured I should get her used to the dripper (since glass drips will soon be a thing of the past).

I'll see if I can figure out how stop the leaks and leave it in all the time.

Thanks!

lol Olive looks pissed. When I put frita in her reptibreeze and was tranfering her when I FIRST got her, she turned black, like all black, it was insane, but she was a rescue living in a fish bowl. I get spots like that if I run up on her spot too quick and it spooks her. Now I try to mosey on in my studio wearing all green with a raspberry and she seems to hate me less.
