Hello my fellow Chameleon Lovers!!:D

So im finally getting around to update everyone on what is going on over here in New Hampshire. Well Here it goes.

My little man Raule is now a little over 5 months old and is just incredible. He has now discovered hornworms and medium sized dubia roaches. He eats like crazy and as a result he is growing like a maniac. Now almost 7 inches from s to v. I dont have a scale but that is on the list of stuff to order. Any one have a better preference than another? So after having him for a while i realized just how much he hates being inside his enclosure. He absolutely hates it and is always looking for a way to escape (causing a little nose rub). So with that said i had decided that he needs a free range. (pictured below) i just happened to have the perfect little nook in my bedroom to accomplish a pretty Bad a$$ free range. So for my little guys free range i decided to get the new arcadia bulbs everyone raves about on here. i got that hung up with a couple plants and a basking spot. i had also come across a plastic drip pan on amazon (originally made for dog crates) and decided i needed to protect the carpet somehow. So with a couple of wild vines and sticks from the woods Raule is now on his Free Range 24/7 and couldnt be happier. So enough about him WE GOT A NEW ADDITION!!!

Id like everyone to meet our new addition Peaches (my gf's cham). She is an Ambilobe Panther and i was told she is 5 months old. Im not to sure of the growth rate on females so anyone with some experience that can give her an approximate age would be of great help. I think i would judge her at around 3 months. the fact being she is very small and only 2 inches s to v. She is now in Mr. Raules old cage that he hated being in. it fits he perfectly and she seems pretty happy. she loves her crickets but has only eaten 1 or 2 dubia since we got her a couple weeks ago. we deff. need to work on her eating other feeders. Also included in this mass of pictures are her Sire and her mothers Sire.

I hope everyone enjoys!!

First up- Raule

yes yes that is the plan. i think Raule is close as he has already had 2 sperm plugs that i have seen hanging from his vent. Although Peaches has a ways to go.

No rush tho. :)
 
I just received Peaches' sister last week! They are pretty small though I've never had females before. Best of luck with the breeding - that's my plan as well in about a year or so :D
 
Great pics and wow he's showing a ton of reds. I've noticed several males showing a lot of reds. They're getting those red genes from the grandsire iron man. His reds are recessive as noki has some reds in him. Peaches is very cute. Good luck with breeding them and I'm sure their babies will be gorgeous. :)
 
Great looking pair you have there. I would say that Peaches is probably in the 5 month old range in these pics, females and their growth rates can vary just as much as males, I've had some that were really big at 5 months and some that were pretty small. As long as they are healthy, that's what counts cause you can always wait a while longer you decide to breed them.
 
Lucky you, they are both gorgeous - congrats :) I especially like Raule sleeping and Peaches parents look amazing, I expect she'll be a real stunner :)
 
Raule is looking very handsome! They will make nice babies for sure. Also- those were the last two girls from that clutch and a little smaller than some of the other girls by a bit. They will be plenty big in 7 months or so when they hit breedin age :)
 
thanks everyone for the complements. I cant wait to see how both of them turn out in their adult ages. :D

And i really cant imagine how gorgeous the offspring of these two will be.

Very excited

Thats great!! Im interested to see the differences in color as they both grow up. Do you have any pictures of your new lady?
