Nosy Be's

[panther67]

Sorry if this is a dumb ?, But is it just me or do Nosy Be's get there color faster than other locales? My little guy had no color when I got him three weeks ago and he shed last week and since then has exploded with color!!
He was only 2 months when I got him so I didn't try to hold him until a few days ago to clean his cage and he got super mad, flaring and hissing, then tried to bite me. Any suggestions?? My BB Ambi. was so easy!!

i got my panther march first and just now i think his true blues are showing, it really all depends on the chameleon. Heres a pic when i first got him and one from now

This month (not as blue as he usually is but you can still see)

How old is he? I would work on hand feeding and let him get used to you at his own pace. If you have to move him, take his whole plant out while he is on it or put a plant at the front of the cage while the door is open. They will usually climb out to explore.

If you look at one of the posts from RobMD from his nosy be babies you can already see some blue coming through and they are still tiny.

Thanks guys. My Nosy is 2 and half months old. My blue bar was so easy. He hand fed almost right away and has never cared if I was doing things in his cage or holding him. He was about the same age as this guy and has such a calm nature.
