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!!
