Well I've had Kirby for nearly two weeks now and he's settling in really well and is a total joy to watch.

He had his first shed with me and was amazing to see how quickly the shed flakes. One minute he looked fine and the next was covered in large flakes.

So anyway I took the opportunity to take some pics of him looking nice and fresh and give him a clean out.

Love the chilled pose lol

These were in the exo while I cleaned his flexarium out. Always gives me a heart attack when he does this lol

 

[veiled]

he is so beautiful! i love the babies. haha

 

[jessica]

[Chamster]

chams looks great... im in the exact situation you are in. i got the same cham with the same age, i also got him about 2 weeks ago... i didnt see him shed yet tho. im waiting for that moment if i catch it in time....

 

[Ekproject]

Haha. Very cute. They shed so fast. Sometimes they are fine in morning and by the time u get home from work there is skin all over the cage.

 

[Chamster]

oh snap....ok...do they still eat while theyre shedding im still wondering...

 

[Miss Lily]

Netty! He is such a goreous little chap! He looks so clean and green!

Chamster - yes, sometimes they may not eat for a day or so, or eat less than usual when getting ready to shed.

Thanks....it was very fast and great to see him in the act.

Well Kirby did eat during the day but while the skin was flaking he was more intent on rubbing himself against the furnishings to get it all off

Thanks Tiff I can totally understand your passion for these amazing animals now. He's cast his spell on me lol

 

[jannb]

He is absolutely adorable! I am glad to see that you are enjoying him so much. They have a way about getting right into your heart.

 

[Sweetcorn]

Thank you Jann.....I'm enjoying every day with him, although I suspect the feeling isn't mutual LOL

What did I tell you?! They are just the most amazing lizards ever! I love mine to bits - you'll soon realise though that, like geckos, one chameleon isn't enough! It'll be wonderful to watch him grow up in pictures - I missed all that with my Tommy. Females don't colour up quite the same, although it was fascinating watching Amy get her big girl colours over the course of a week or so!

Just wait in a few months you'll be ready for a panther or a quad or a mellers. Well, you get where Im going with this. lol

Well if it is the same as geckos, I shall end up with 18 of them LOL. I'll be sure to keep his Aunty Tiff updated with lots of pics Still can't imagine him as an adult though!!

Yes I think I can see the path clearly lol I have to say though, that I wouldn't say no to a certain "Professor"

I love the crisp clean look on your boy. Even his zipper shines.

Thank you laurie Love the term "zipper" lol.....first time I've heard that

 

[Miss Lily]

Love their zippers, lol! If you look further down on his belly - it splits into two briefly where he was attached to his egg sac - it looks like their zip has bust open, lol! Even chams have belly buttons!

So it does

The other thing I did notice was how he used his tail to feel around for a hold when he was upside down on the mesh.

 

[laurie]

Yes they are eternal fun to watch. You will find lots of silly behaviors.
