*Just my Senegal*

[liss]

This is Lennon, when I got him, I got a "mate" with him. She didn't make it, but I found out afterwards that she came to me sick. I've had Lennon now for almost two months and he (thanks a lot to this forum) is doing great!
Here's a few pics of him I've taken recently.

He's really a cute little guy!

Thanks, I've read that they're really the least desired amongst chams, but he's cool in my books!!

senegalensis

I really like senegalensis. They have great personalities. They remind me of a Veiled but much friendlier.

I had senegals for about 4 years. They had come in without the proper paperwork so the authorities confiscated them and that's how I ended up with them. They were such great eaters and very easy to keep once acclimated. They had to all be treated for parasites and one for subcutaneous nematodes. One female laid 35 eggs, if I remember correctly, and she had a broken leg. Several of the eggs hatched out but they didn't survive more than a few weeks. Their turrets were translucent. This was before I used a temperature controlled incubator.

Funny thing is, no one was interested in them at the time. I tried to find them new homes but they just didn't get the attention that panthers and veileds get.

Good luck to you with yours.

*NOTE* in the second picture below he leaning away from the camera so he looks oddly shaped, but he really hates the camera and this colour and spots prove it!!

[liss]

No, it's only what I was told by the "exotic pet store" that I got "him" from.... you think differently?

He's singing in the rain

 

[laurie]

cute

It doesn't get better than your cham singing in the rain. enjoy. If he is a male I have a friend who has a "female" or so he was told. He keeps it but is now into panthers. Laurie

 

[beeze]

Nice photo, he's really cute!

 

[ciafardo 4]

im almost positive that he is a she and a pretty one at that

 

[liss]

How can I (or You, if I post a picture) tell if "Lennon" is a he or a she? I'm not exactly sure of the age, however; it's had one complete shed since I've had it (Nov.7). Maybe I can post a picture that is more helpful....
