[dragongoddess]

He doesn't like you taking pics

There are live plants somewhere in his enclosure right?

 

[meganm85]

no i cant think of a name for him.....i have no clue...right now i call him lil man...lol...and i dont have any real plants yet will be getting a pothas ...i dont know how to spell it.....im in the process of building him a bigger enclosure.....so i will eventually have all real plants in it....

Cool pics! Real plants help keep humidity levels up and also real leaves hold onto water droplets longer than fake ones too. Some chams like to eat leaves too, so keep an eye on him in case he tries to eat those fake ones.

yeah i know...it takes me forever because they dry up so fast i dont mind it though...he will be in his new home soon......i make sure i spay until he walks away and i know he is done.....i do it like 5 to 7 times a day just to make sure....i think im gonna try and make a dripper too....

Take your time with his name it will come to you! You should call him "Alien"

im kindda thinking Eliot!!! like on the movie ET the extra terrestrial...the boys name was Eliot....i wish i could get him out..every time i put my hand in to spray him he comes close to drink but if the spray bottle isnt in my hand he gets weird....he dont really puff up or hiss...he sometimes opens his moth but thats it....i even put a nasty cricket on my hand and he wanted nothing to to with it or me..... i dont want to force him or stress him out or even get bit.... but i want him to get used to me also....should i give him more time?

yeah sometimes new chams get really stressed....i would sugest letting some crix loose in his cage for him to hunt down....and keep misting him but dont hold him...give him space.

Elliott is a great name if you decide to choose it. I am the kinda person that names everything from pets to cars so names come easy to me

You haven't had him very long so just keep him well hydrated and give him his privacy so he can settle in. My last cham took a good 3 weeks to get used to me and his surroundings and he was about the same age as your little boy.

btw.....he is lovely!

i was thinking that because of that movie "ET"...when i went to pick him up at the ups terminal my son said "mom...are we going to wal mart to pick up your alien?" lol...i lost it..it was the funniest thing ever!!!....so i need a alien themed name i think and Eliot seems to fit him...

 

[panthercham]

Well you did get him from Sandy and Elliot from Chameleons Northwest so I think its a fitting name

 

[meganm85]

haha i didnt even think of that...that settles it....Elliot it is then!!
