He's gorgeous! He still looks quite young though - their colour can take up to a year or more to fully develop! I'm a Dancing on Ice fan too - I'm also in the UK! I would have to agree that a chameleon that doesn't mind being handled is truly wonderful! Both of mine don't mind coming out, especially in the summer as it usually means some time outside in the sun!

Yay! More UK people! I thought this was mostly an american forum.
Dennis loves being handled, he will go to anyone! He annoys my OH by climbing ontop of his head and hanging his tail in his face lol He's too scared to pick him up (he's convinced Dennis will bite even though he has never once attempted to bite anyone!!) so i have to rescue him lol
Here's a few more of Dennis looking gorgeous a couple of mins ago!
Love his little white patch, his dad was pied with white legs lol
Im not too bothered if he colours up too much more, i want him to have a big horn though, i think they are so cute! How do you make them grow bigger? lol

When you say horn, do you mean the casque on top of his head? My Tommy's is huge. I think proper calcium supplementing and good strong bone growth may have something to do with that. I'm sure that if it's nothing to do with bone growth someone else will correct me! Of course, they are all different and it may just be in his genes! Here's a pic of my big TomTom and his big head, lol! How old is your l'il man?

I just call it his horn, didnt know it had a scientific name lol I prefer horn anyway.
His dad is apparently a "transbald", i thought he was very pretty, but of course the only interesting marking Dennis has is his little white patch on his belly. He had white feet as a tiny baby but they seem to have gone green now he's shed a few times.

Dennis still has plenty of growing to do! Like pssh said, his father does have some unusual markings! Dennis may go through a hissy stage and not want anything to do with you for a while. Amy did that at around 6 months, then turned compeltely the opposite and I couldn't keep her in, lol! She is now back to being hissy and she loves to puff her chin out at me! Damn hormones! I'm sure that once she's laid those eggies she'll be back to her normal sweet self!

See, thats why i went for a male, i couldnt cope with all the egg laying from a female!
Dennis gets very hissy and aggressive with the camera, he just hates it! He has bitten that a few times. Im hoping he will continue to take his anger out on that and be friendly with me lol But i have heard that they can go through a hormonal stage so im prepared for that. I cant imagine what a cham bite feels like, they dont seem to have any teeth...??
