Say hello to my little friend...

[Snootchie0210]

...Dexter.
He finally arrived today. I was all excited while I was waiting for him. Now I'm all nervous. He just looks so small and fragile. Hopefully all the research I've done and this forum can help me raise his properly, healthily, and happily.
Here's some pictures (if i can figure out how to upload them. Haha!)

I also would like to give a big shoutout to Curt from EpicChameleons for:
-this good looking little monster
-working around my schedule prior to shipping
-giving me sound advice and suggestions regarding my enclosure
-being a helpful and knowledgable breeder without being judgemental to a rookie hobbyist like me

Thanks!

Jethro.
So I'm hoping for a red bar =P.

Aww, he is so cute! Good luck with that adorable little guy.

He just arrived about an hour ago. I tried cup-feeding him crickets. No luck. I figured he's stressed from the shipping. So I just put him in the enclosure and misted, just in case he's thirsty. You guys have any suggestion on when I should try feeding him again...without stressing him out more?

He looks great. Can't wait for him to grow into his colours!

I would give him a day or so with minimal contact. He just got shipped and put into a new enviroment so he is most likely apprehensive about his surroundings. He will eat when he is ready (offer it to him but don't try to force it on him) but with any new reptile it takes a little time for them to get adjusted into his new home.

Good luck and it looks like he found a great place to live.

Curt does have some fine chams, I have found my transaction very smooth. Dexter looks like a real killer to me. he should be a great ladies man. Big congrats

 

[Squirell]

Congrats. Just got mine yesterday as well. I just put some crickets in and let them roam. He eventually tracked a few down and made them pay!

Your very welcome! Remember I'm here to help.

Jethro is my baby daddy too! Your baby is going to be on fire

Idk if it will be the same with you and cup feeding, but Kuzco caught on right quick. Cup feeding within the first week
Good luck! Curt and Jethro make mighty fine babies

Hello Dexter lol...here's a tune for you (because you're from a place called Union ) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_COYEOTg-4&playnext=1&list=PLDFC1E2B665AD6797&feature=results_video

 

[Snootchie0210]

Thanks, guys.
Looks like he's calming down a bit. His skin color is noticably lighter. I'll try cup feeding him tomorrow.

[dom1959]
