New Chameleon!

Chameleon's have always been on my "someday" list. At the Reptile Super Show in Pomona last month, my daughter and I picked up a little female veiled chameleon, at the auction to benefit USARK. We absolutely love her! My daughter has named her Leafy.

I have been remiss in introducing her anywhere because I have had a very hard time getting pictures of her. I did get a couple of pictures a week or so after we brought her home. Whenever I try to take pictures, she is either hiding, shedding, or she runs away as soon as she sees the camera. She was up front yesterday, so I took a couple pictures even though she's currently shedding. As I was formatting the pictures from yesterday, I went back to the ones from Jan 20. Wow! She sure has grown over the last month!

Here she is January 20 - so tiny!

February 22 - all fired up because she hates the camera! Look how big she's gotten!

And Yesterday, just finishing up that shed.

This is her typical response to the camera - run, run away!!

Welcome to you and Leafy! They do grow quickly; it's fun to watch them change and develop before your eyes.
 
Thanks! I'm so glad I did get a few pictures of her when she was really little. I knew she had grown, but I hadn't realized how much! :)
 
Welcome to the Forum! Leafy is a beautiful girl and your pictures are awsome!! I have four veileds - 2 of each - they are great chams! This forum is the best place (IMHO) to get info. If you have a question, no matter what type of question, there is someone on here that will have an answer - much more informative than any article on the web!!

Howdy,

I remember you two (three)! We met at the SBCK booth where I was giving the chameleon lecture etc. :). Glad you made it onto the forum. I hope it was because of the website cards that we were handing out :eek:. Your Veiled looks like she is doing great!
 
Thanks everyone! :cool: We are really enjoying her very much.
