My little one's still wondering her cage aimlessly in her receptive phase.

She's getting some turquoise blue pops!

Also, interestingly, not gaining weight? I even made sure to calibrate the scale before weighing her each time

Paint me like one of your French girls.

Her tummy is so cute!
I love how chameleons are simultaneously so skinny and so chubby at the same time

There's been some talk about chams and their poop routine/preferences lately...

I present exhibit A:

Date taken: September 30, 2025.

Culprit: Mr. Jack, of the species: jackson chameleon xantholophus. Roughly, 10 months old.

Scenario: Mr. Jack has been in my care since May 2025; and moved into his big boy cage on July 1, 2025. He's always wondered to the same place to drop a #2. Very rarely, even if I remove the brackets, will he poop anywhere else...

HOW DARE YOU! Put me back immediately!!!

.. Look how much healthier his horns are since I got him!

April 17, 2025 vs October 4, 2025.

PSA: Don't watch the tape, I was new and a noob. Don't use tape around your chams; it's foolish and very unsafe. Think about it... they're used as sticky traps to catch flies/undesirable rodents... Your cham can only get damaged from the adhesive from the tape, like a trap. Instead, invest in a hot glue gun and some glue sticks.

Today she hasn't gained too much weight, considering I just fed her to lure her into my hand... Sassy pants mode, initiate!

 

[ehdee6]

I don't know, what are we looking at?! Nothing to see here...

Hey, Mr. Jack... Where you at?

Sometimes Littlefoot plays coy...

Then pops out like...

I start to wonder... Should I rename Littlefoot into Littlemiss sassy pants?

But then she sees the coveted prize... the long waited treat... and suddenly becomes oh so sweet.

 

[ehdee6]

Jack does this little dance every time he gets a treat.


And Littlefoot should be named Jaws.

 

[ehdee6]

Slight weight gain, but still my little princess.

Gorgeous green goddess!

Jack's new cage arrangement is growing in quicker than I thought it would. I took the fake plants off the outside of his door and he stopped screen crawling... He just wants everyone to see how handsome he is.

 

[ehdee6]

Poor Littlefoot's not sure what to do about this... she usually gets them first.

 

[ehdee6]

Happy got'cha time, Littlefoot!

Thank you all for the wisdom + knowledge; and for putting up with my shenanigans...

Littlefoot is roughly 19mo now, healthy, strong, and has never laid eggs!

 

[MissSkittles]

Happy gotcha time! Littlefoot has grown into a beautiful green lady. She was so adorable when you got her.

 

[ehdee6]

Trying to replicate her first pictures today.

 

[ehdee6]

I got the estimated age wrong . Littlefoot is not roughly 19mo, but the young ripe age of 15mos..

I'm also providing links to the other post about the revelations of Littlefoot and Mr. Jack; as I'll only be updating this post going forward.
