My First Chameleon, Razu!

[ReptiGurl]

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce my approximately 3.5-4 month old Ambilobe Panther Chameleon who comes from a high red sire. His name is Razu, I brought him home yesterday. He was a surprise gift from my boyfriend, Travis (ReptiGeek) as a way of saying how proud he was of me for graduating my hair school program. This morning we watched him drink from some leaves and move around which was nice to see. He was very scared when we brought him home last night. We also hand fed him 3 crickets which was very exciting I must say! And then watched him catch some more crickets and mealworms out of his dish! I'm falling in love with the little guy already and I haven't even had him for a full 24 hours yet. Without further ado, here are some photos !

That was Zazu, like ReptileLove18 said! I love the lion king so I based it off of his name, because he was colorful! Thank you

Yes, I'm super happy to see him eating already! Especially out of my hand! It feels great, I'm really excited and know I'm already going to get ridiculously attached to him!

Thanks so much! I've already been apart of the chameleon world for a while because of Travis. And he finally decided that I'm ready, I'll have a lot of help along the way!

Congrats on the new cham and the graduation! He looks VERY nice for his age. Where did you get him?

 

[ReptiGeek]

I'm so glad you like him Chels. I was in disbelief that he ate right from both of our fingers the very first morning being with you. Especially since he wasn't really handled or ever hand fed before. Looking forward to witnessing his development in person <3

Awe, thank you so much he's a very loveable little guy I must say. Any chameleon is hard not to fall in love with!

Thank you, thank you!! I appreciate it! I got him from Mike Knotts high-red Ambilobe line, however the name of the sire escapes me! Here is a pic of the believed sire:

Found the little guy hanging upside down tonight! I watched him for a while, he just kept going up and then down, like he was testing it out to see if he liked it our not. It was adorable!
