Hey guys,
I'm new here and just wanted to show everyone my new veilded chameleon!
quite the active little guy if you ask me he was exploring his whole cage last night when we brought him home.. he changed so many different types of greens it was pretty awesome! and when i woke up this morning he was bright green with black spots and stripes all over him!

His name is Boogy!

Boogy is cuuuuute... if you have any questions on his behaviors, colorings, or supplementing his food, please ask away, there's very little we love more than our chams and helping out new cham owners!

You're not alone in that thinking. The coloration and such looks female to me, but i THINK i can see a spur in that second picture.

Congrats on the first of many chameleons

Congratulations on boogy! Handsome Cham! I know you said they educated you and gave you two kinds of supplements. But I figured I would give you these links to help you out.

the coloration in the second picture is referred to as "juvenile stress pattern"

I might see a spur on the second picture

either way, he/she is really cute. you'll be surprised to see how fast they grow up
