New Charges

[Brad Ramsey]

Many of you may remember that Nick (Topknot) offered his breeding pair of veileds recently for free .. he has a new job and is exiting the hobby.
Theresa took Oggie and Green Bean.
Nick also had some eggs of theirs that he offered to me.
I agreed to take them and Nick delivered them today ...... one was actually a little girl neonate ... she probably hatched out on Wednesday (?) not exactly sure.
Anywho ... The parents are splendid examples, and I am looking forward to raising these babies. Oggie (the sire) is the white veiled and Green Bean is a beautiful grandchild of the Kammer's Azog.
No pictures yet, but I will try tomorrow ... no guarantees, she's really tiny and I don't have much of a camera.
Here are links to pictures of the parents:

What beautifful parents, you will be raising some excellent babies, enjoy and we do need pictures.

 

[Brad Ramsey]

Okay ... I was finally able to get a couple of pictures of this little hatchling in focus.
Here she is.
I have not seen her eat yet but she is very alert and active.
Note the thermometer probe for size comparison.

That is too cute. She looks great!

 

[Trace]

Wow! She really will fit in your nose!

Cheers,

And to think I hadn't known "cham up the nose" was the hot new trend!

 

[dondeb562]

Very cool! Do you plan on raising these babies for a bit to see if any share the pastel trait of the father?? I would love for you to keep us posted on this if you are planning to hold back some for that reason

Ha!
I told Trace last night that she was so small I could snort her
Without a picture (and late at night) this is how I could best describe her size.
Just for clarification, I do not have a habit of "snorting" anything ... it was late

I have not made any decisions about them yet.
Oggie is pretty cool.

[Syn]

Wow Brad, didn't know you were into that kind of stuff.

I love baby chameleons! Aww

I keep coming back for the pictures.

It's only a matter of time before we see Paris Hilton with a cham up her nose.

 

[Syn]

This just in, Paris Hilton was caught sniffing chameleons when a tail suddenly fell out of her nostril.

Sorry Brad, that would be my fault! By no means was it my intention to imply there was some 'snorting' problems on your end. Nor did I want your thread to take a different direction. Just using the nasal cavity to describe the size of a baby chameleon is the funniest thing at 3am!

Now back to the thread at hand. Have fun with the little ones. Have any of the other eggs started hatching yet?

Cheers,

Sometimes there's nothing you can do but smile. ( I got the curly-tail fever)

 

[skeeta]

Oh yeah, I got stump-tail fever too! When are those little darlings arriving anyway?

Very nice chameleon, Very cute

[dondeb562]

Do you know if either of Oggies parents were showing the white/pastel look? I probably should be asking this to the original owner. lol!

 

[Brad Ramsey]

Trace:
No worries None of the others have started to hatch yet. They sure are huge and green though! These eggs are 248 days old today.

Skeeta:
No word on shipment of the other chameleons that are coming. We are waiting on imports. My translucent male will be in that shipment as well.

Dondeb562:
Oggie was purchased off of Kingsnake and was from a "red" bloodline, according to the seller.

Is every two hours too often to check eggs? Ha!
