For the past couple of weeks I noticed Jasper goes up to his little spot where his dripper is at. He waits for me to put the hose infront of his mouth so he can drink :)

Always forget to take videos/pics So here's a vid of Jasper drinking from my hand.

(Be sure to watch in 720p, makes my iPhone look like a nokia with snake quality lol)

I've had chams who would drink out of my hand or directly from a syringe. I love this as its a nice way to interact with them and keep an eye on how much they actually take in each day. Basically any time I get a new cham I try to get them to drink directly this way. Some won't, but many do.
 
That is just too cool. He's also a great looking chameleon. I'm new to chameleons and just got my first couple of baby Amphiboles this summer. I just really like the look of the Ambanjas and that just might be my next chameleon.
 
Awwww!! That is just too cute:)

Haha thanks! Yeah he's a cutie, thought it was pretty cool that i could interact with him like that. First time he charged at me to get some water haha.

I was planning on starting off my next chameleon with hand feeding and water. I think it's so cool how he's not scared of me or anything. Eventhough i have to force feed him with food/meds. He's super docile!

Thanks! Yeah i went through hell to get Jasper. Pretty much rescued him from a reptile store. Sold me him as a Nosy Faly, turns out his full Ambanja (spoke with the breeder) but he looks Ambanja x Ambilobe now with all these oranges and greens. My next cham will be a Ambilobe or Faly, very beautiful chameleons!
 
That's hilarious:) How is he doing?? He looks great!!

Yeah atfirst i thought he was holding his territory down haha. But he went up to me and started drinking water when i tried to adjust his hose.

But Jaspers alright. Still not eating :(

But today he went for a darkling beetle running on his vine. Had a thing of mealworms and they turned into beetles lol. I picked up some dubias today, so hopefully he goes for one tomorrow. I try to give him breaks from force feeding so i can allow him to attempt to eat on his own.

Cool video! He looks very good :D

Thank you! His colors are surprising me everyday! Had no idea he'd end up looking like the way he is now :)

I have never seen one with quite those same colors before. He really is something! Good looks and personality to match! I'm definitely jealous. :D

Whoops! Noticed I said I was sold a Nosy Faly. I meant Nosy Be lol. But thanks, waiting for this next shed so I can see his new clothes :)
