This is Ryker right now as an adult. His burn scar is the white thing on his flank that looks like shed, every time he sheds it gets better so soon I am hoping it will just be different colored skin. I still find him beautiful even with his scars, he's got probably the best personality of any chameleon I have found or heard of. He's eager to come out any time (he thinks it means outside time all the time which most of the time it does), he's never bitten anyone on purpose (not even the vet), is easy to move around, never hisses, has only gaped a couple times, and eats like a horse. He needs to gain some weight again. But this is because I was gone for a couple weeks and the person who was watching him didn't feed him his worms which is how I get those extra few calories in him. He gets numerous silkworms, hornworms when I have them, and a few wax worms a week. He loses weight very quickly, but gains weight very slowly. His metabolism is freakishly fast and I feed him almost every day, except one day of the week when I give him a rest. Once to twice a week he gets 16 large crickets which he eats all in one sitting. Usually his feeders consist of 4 adult dubias, or 6 large dubia nymphs, with two or three worms added on. He's a pig, I have never heard of a chameleon eating as much as him. Yet he is still a relatively small chameleon, which I think is because he's such a blend of locales... I'm not sure though. He is about 16 inches, and weighs 120 grams on a good day. Last time I got a fecal done he was clean, which was about a year ago so he's due... ANYWAY enough blabbing, I promised photos ad here they are XD:
The sad thing is I don't know what his fired up colors look like anymore .___. I have only seen him half fired as an adult. So I know there is some blues, light green, and bright oranges in it, I think the bright orange is the base color. But he doesn't flare up at his reflection or a camera or a phone or anything. He did it when he was a teenager, but now he could care less lol. I don't even know if he would breed well lol. Too chill. So the colors you are seeing are his resting colors... I need to get a picture of his pajamas though, because those are GORGEOUS <3.
I changed his enclosure set up, because I was putting in his new Mistking, which I love and he loves. When he figured out the Mistking is about to go off, he moves up to the top branch of his large ficus so the mist directly hits him and he just sits there and has the happiest chameleon look on his face... as happy as his face can get lol.
