Thanks Carol! I try to take pictures every few days or so because he changes so much.

Holy freaking smokes! I got my cham two weeks ago and he hasn't hit his spurt yet, I CAN'T wait till I see him grow like yours did. That's awesome. Beautiful cham by the way.

Hi all...new to the forum...i have an ambilobe panther...he's not really the friendliest of animals. I had a jackson chamelone for a while and he was super cool, but my panther just doesn't seem to like me for some reason. I take care of him very well, but for some reason everytime i stick my hand near him he puffs up and even snaps a little bit at me. Anybody know how i can get him to like me lol

They do grow like crazy during the first 8 to 10 months, see my blog for a growth chart of my chams' growth if you're interested....

Dude...you weren't kidding. He has tripled in size!!! Like I said, you have a stud on your hands !!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I haven't weighed him yet Lisa. I keep wondering how much he's put on, but don't have access to a scale.

I've been feeding him mostly crickets gutloaded with mostly Steve's Cricket Crack & frozen veggie cubes I made. Calcium w/o D3 almost everyday, herptivite once a month, calcium w/ D3 twice a month & Miner-All (outdoor) once a month. He likes to eat.... A LOT!

That's a BIG difference. He's a VERY handsome boy!

WOW Thats awesome! I loved that post

 

[tompbgod]

DAmnnn he straight took off and did some work at the gym didnt he?

 

[Monkeykungphu]

Thanks again! He's been a lot of fun!

He's finally calming down a little when I pick him up. Yesterday was the first day I managed to pick him up without him "bluff" biting at me. He has yet to really bite me, but will typically gape & hiss anytime my hand gets near. I don't expect him to love me, I just want him to be cool when I'm transporting him outside or whatever & I think he's getting that way!

Here's a somewhat blurry pic of my hand next to him for a reference for size. He's obvsiusly not happy about my hand being so close.

Good looking stud you have there, I can't wait to see the end result. His cloration is almost identical to his dad (hefner) . Great setup as well!
