it's baffling!

[justjumpit621]

Does anyone know how the HELL you can search for an hour to find a BRIGHT RED chameleon only to find him right under your nose! I swear I search longer to find Calais than I do Leo and he actually BLENDS IN! He made me tear down half the plastic sheeting on the windows while he sat happily on his little plant stand

Your not alone!! I had a plum tree that I'd let them free range on everyday and it never failed when I went to find them.....I couldnt....then it would be like BAM! right in front of me the whole time or even out on a branch with no leaves......try doing this with smaller chams like sternfeldi......mind boggling on how so quick they are in blending in........

I once lost a mellers in a grape fruit tree..... found her in my neighbors fig tree later that day........searching for her was like a workout!!

Never used the grape fruit tree after that.......got way to big...

hahaahah i still have a iguanna on the loose i think its two yards over eating blue berrys and what ever else they have there

 

[Elizadolots]

Yeah...I swear the thing I say most to my chameleons is "woooo...right in front of my eyes yet again".

 

[flyty808]

i put my hand on one looking for her just didnt see her i swear she got out but bam she was in my hand on a branch

 

[ataraxia]

id like to have all the time back spent looking for chameleons that were in plain sight..start grabbing branches one a time running your hands down and then bam "hello how are you today". panthers are bright right? hell no, you would think among all the green and brown furnishings in a cage that bright ass red, orange, green, blue would stick out like flashing light. no doubt it is baffling.

Guess it just shows you that they don't need to blend in so that they won't be seen!

 

[Fearaffect]

Who do you all think are better blenders.....chams or leaf tail geckos??

 

[kinyonga]

In a different sort of way, the leaf tails are...IMHO.

I agree.....they have uberly cool cryptic patterns and even have developed skin that resembles the bark/moss/leaves that they hide in........I would love to have a nice colony of them......someday..satanic are my favorites.....with the mossys close behind

 

[kinyonga]

My favorites are the fimbriatus. I find them to be harder to keep than chameleons sometimes.
