My new chameleon

[Chameleonmaster]

I got my first chameleon yesterday they sold him to me as a crested but I looked at some photos on here and I think its a male verrucosus. He is 10" long eating well and drinking. He's in a 2by2by4 cage. Super exsided

Definitely a verrucosus, aka giant spiny, aka warty!

edit* He's nice looking! Do you know if he's wild, ch or cb? I'd probably be a little concerned since they sold him to you as a crested. Get a fecal when you get the chance!

Also, look up Chazam and you'll see pics of my verru!!

Interesting...Then I wonder how he was mislabeled as a crested?

 

[coldbloodedAL]

Did u get this from great lakes?

 

[Chameleonmaster]

I think the breeder wanted more money for him so they told them he was a different type

 

[Chameleonmaster]

Yah I got him from great lake reptiles in Roseville 10mile and gratiot

Oh no fair. I love the verrucosus', they're just such magnificent looking animals. Congrats!

He has a very nice lime green and a little bit of blue on the side of his head.
The picture don't serve him justice

Congrats on your pointy headed and spiky first cham! He looks good, is what counts - pictures never do any of our chams justice
