"Little Guy" Quadricornis Update

[Chase]

Hello all!
Well it has been a little over a month since I have uploaded pictures of my little quadricornis that I have. He is doing great, and getting pretty big! His attitude is growing, but I love watching this little dude walk around and eat. He is gonna look so cool when he's older!

Enjoy!

They are gorgeous! To be honest, I totally read, Quadricornis as Unicorns.. haha

Hello,
super sweet little guy, did you take him out in order to take photos or did you handle him anyway for another reason?

He is a complete little gem. I love watching quads grow, how old is your guy? Is he w/c, c/h or c/b? Are you thinking to sell him since you lost your female? Lots of people here would jump for him.

Laurie, I think I might try that, but I'm afraid I would hit the computer screen!

They are amazing too look at!

Took him out for photos. Then put him back in his enclosure.

PM'd you Laurie

Why didn´t you take pictures while he´s in the cage?
Chameleons really don´t like being handled and any stress will affect their health.

He was out for about 3 minutes. 3 minutes of being out of his enclosure didn't bother him any.

It´s not the time he´s out that matters but the fact he´s been taken out of his "natural environment". I´m not saying you should absolutely not handle him, but avoid it whenever possible.

 

[Chase]

It was 3 minutes. I think 3 minutes once a month isn't too stressful.

[lumbasammler]

I didn´t say so
I just said that it would not have been necessary

 

[Chase]

Again, it was only three minutes. His misting sessions last longer than taking the photos did. And he hates being sprayed more than anything.

Not all chams get stressed when being handled. Its really an individual cham thing.

 

[lumbasammler]

I didn´t want to insult you or something, if you thought so it may be due to my not quite perfect english. I just wanted to point out that chameleons in general do not like handling and prevent others from thinking it would be normal to handle their chameleons every other day. If you only handle him once a month and can tell by his behaviour and coloration that this is not stressing him to much, this is absolutely fine with me.
