This guy has resparked my love of Veiled chameleons. His personality I would have to say at this point is a true oddity in the world of Veileds. You probably wouldn't believe me but in all the time I have had him since he was the size of my pinky or smaller, I have NEVER seen an aggressive or frightened bone when I interact with him. Start to open his cage and he will come down from his jungle and wait for your hand.... So he can cut the circulation off to whichever finger he grabs first with his commanding grip. Never hissed... Never Gaped... Never tried to head butt... nothin'. I got very very lucky. Once again...Thanks Juli! He is now massive, and rules his domain proudly.
My favorite behavior of his, or shall I say routine, is his rise and shine ritual. When the lights come on, I will sit and watch him crawl from the thick of his jungle, to his high perch directly under the Basking Lamp and stretch... He puffs his body, and sports rich dark colors. He sits up there stretching his muscles and warming up from the night, while he watches me get ready for work. I love it. I had to snap some pics... Sorry for the quality, next to the light it gets tough.
Thanks,
Joe
