new cham member...with cham

[shermanator]

Hello all,

I am relatively new to the forum, haven't been posting but I have been trolling / monitoring the site for some time....even years ago as a "guest"....but our family got our first cham a few months ago.

His name is "ferb" and I have attached a few photos.....he only likes to pose in his angry colors.

I bought him from Chameleon Nation, in Canada, and we live on the west coast, Vancouver Island to be exact.

I am a biologist who has kept dart frogs for a number of years.....got tired of fruit flys and now we keep our one nosey be (hopefully more soon) and 3 gargoyle geckos.

I really enjoy the wealth of knowledge and information that I find throughout this forum and would like to thank everyone for the help they provide, even to those of us who don't participate alot in the conversations.

thanks again,
