WOW! He is a fireball! A fireball with slight greens... and whites lol. He looks so fake just because how great he looks but I know he's not. And he looks super healthy, you got a great cham.

WHOA! That's one red chameleon. He's spectacular.

Thanks A lot. He is a really healthy, really robust Cham. I gutload his feeders separate from my other Chams. I have been trying different things with him and i want to try to keep things controled. I just got a few Hornworms for him to snack on, then back to a steady supply of loaded Dubias.

WHOA! That's one red chameleon. He's spectacular.

Thanks Trace..

Chance had a little trip to my Daughter's school for a "show n tell" Diversity Day. He is perfect for this. Do doesn't mind being handled and will eagerly hand-feed in front of crowds.

This is him relaxing back home after the "show"

Im also trying to convince my mother to let me build a screened cage around this Maple in her yard in Brooklyn. lol

Summer Free-Range!! Get some Hibiscus, Schefflera or Ficus planted around the base and cage the whole thing.

 

[JonRich]

Finally got around to redoing the large cage for Chance since the Hibiscus that was in there was dead.

Went alll over trying to get a nice sized plant for his cage 3' x 3' x 5'... NOTHINGGGG!!!

Ended up getting a nice "small" Schefflera for my ExoTerra that ended up being too big, so i put it in Chance's cage with a Pothols. Came out ok. But i'm still looking for a taller plant to replace the dead Hibiscus.

HomeDepot had a deal where you buy a pot and they will re-pot the plant for free. The guy that helped me was really cool. Told him the plant was for a Chameleon and that blew his mind. He asked me a tonnn of questions after. He ended up potting the plant with Organic soil for no extra charge. Score!!

This is how it turned out. Not really what i want , but it will work for now.

 

[JonRich]

His first night in the cage.. Tail curled up and eyes closed . It was 15 minutes b4 lights out. Guess he was tired, but looked greattt!!

 

[Whatcamo]

New cage looking good just let that grow for a couple months and you'll have one like mine
And he's looking crazy good man!

 

[JonRich]

Thanks.

And thats what i was thinking . Having the Pothols grow in and fill in the blanks. He seems to like the cover and i catch him roaming in and out the thicket sections of the Pothols.

 

[DansDragons]

i did man, i went crazy and have close to 20 now with some very gravid females

it hurts to let him go, but he'll be getting a good home. good luck with breeding him, he'll have some KILLER kids.

Yea. I have been mapping out the project all day. Expences, feeders,gutloading,incubating,which female to breed him to first, bins, extra mistking, cages, lighting, etc....$hit adds up.

My biggest issue will be the retained clutch. I'd like the clutches to be at least 3 months apart for my own cumfort level.. But with a female able to lay a retained clutch a month later has the possibility of having up to 80 babies at a given time.

That guy just gets better looking every time I see him! I think your enclosure looks great!
