My new baby ambilobe panther Ziggy!

[HermannChameleon]

Hey everyone,

Got my 1st ever chameleon, Ziggy, yesterday! He is a 3 month old blue bar ambilobe panther. Already showing some nice colours; reds, blues, greens, orangey tints.

Since putting him in his cage he has been eating well, he had about 4 or 5 hoppers yesterday and probably about the same amount today.

We haven't handled him since putting him in his enclosure (Zoomed Reptibreeze 18" x 18" x 36") as want him to get used to his surroundings first. Have put our hand in a couple of times to put food in etc.

He has been out walking around a little bit but mainly stays in the far corner hiding in the spanish moss. Will he venture out to more of his cage as time goes on?

I haven't seen him go under his basking light yet, it is on the opposite side to the moss. Do you think I should move it to the moss side?

He was the largest of the ones available and seemed the most adventurous in the enclosure at the breeders and was showing the most colours.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Will put pics up when he's ready to show himself off!

Thanks,

John and Sam
