Hi everyone. I am the recent owner of a Senegal Chameleon I named Camille (cami for short).
I got her from work, and I chose her for the simple fact that when I went to touch her she didn't shy away like the others. I brought her home. Left her alone for a day. I noticed she slept alot for the first few days, I fed her in a glass cup. Put a couple crickets in there and she ate them. This was the first and last time she ate this way. I bought fruit flies, needless to say I think she likes those better than the crickets. Now I put a few in her cage at a time, I never see her move that quick as when She's chasing her food around. It's so cute!*
Whenever I put my hand in her cage to get her she always climbs right on. One thing I do about once a day for 15-20 minutes is turn the shower on, let the bathroom fill with steam and put her on the counter,on a plant, she loves it. She tried to crawl up the mirror, looks like a Chameleon mime. Ha-ha. Once I was in the shower at the time and when I got out I put my hair up in a towel on top of my head and she put her arms up so I put my hand out, she crawled up my arm, up my shoulder (scratching on the way up) and climbed on top of my towel on my head and sat there. It was so funny, and was then I realized how much personality she has. During the day I keep her door open and she comes out and crawls up my spotted curtains, turning spots herself and walks along the top of the rod. I am lucky to have such an amazing pet. I never thought I would have a reptile. Let alone a Chameleon I came to love. So I think it's Very true about patience. I took her outside once and she like got so dark and her chin puffed out and mouth opened.. I don't think she liked it. Is there anything u can suggest for taking her outside? Or is it not a good idea. She seems happy with walking all over my couch and bed and curtains. I don't want to stress her out so I haven't taken her outside since then. Here is a picture of her today roaming around.
