Bed Bath and Beyond has a nice one for $20. Ask around (Mom, Aunt, Grams) for a 20% off coupon, they send them out all the time, and there you have a great scale for only $16.

don't know how to weigh mine, other then going to the deli with him in a cup LOL....

are scales expensive?

Congratulations with the little boy very cute btw

 

[Sang]

i really am happy with him. and i will probably purchase again from gesang when degas has babies.

HA, he finally puffed up and gaped real big at me!. was walkin by and just puffed his throat out lol.

 

[Sang]

new picture for today.


Well, i am considering the name Hachi. or danboro.. hachi is the japanese for 8 and danboro basically means oven in japanese.

since he is a sambava i can't decide which.

 

[Sang]

so i got home this afternoon.. and im lookin at him like ^.~ WTH..he's dark hunter green and grey...


i assume he's shedding.. since this is my first chameleon, how long will it take for him to finish his shed, anything i should look out for?

 

[Chameleons Northwest]

He's definitely shedding. Just mist him well, the moistening of the loose skin will help him shed. He may go off food while he's shedding, too. And, they are usually very grumpy when shedding.

 

[Sang]

well im glad he gorged on water this morning... so hopefully he will be ok.. i was going to try to take him out for some afternoon sun while it starts too cool off as the sun goes down, but ill leave him be..

thx again gesang he really is wonderful.

 

[Roni013]

congrats on your new family memeber! He is super cute, btw I like Danboro as a name, not sure why, just sounds cool, either way can't go wrong with japanese names. Good luck with him!

 

[Sang]

danboro is oven so being a sambava its somewhat fitting.
Hachi just sounds cool.

 

[Sang]

OK, well i have officialy named him!..

Daruma.

which is basically the word for hammer.

i actually managed to get him out today in hopes of getting a little bit of the shed off his leg been kinda like a little bracelet. and the tid bit at the very tip probably 1/8th of an inch of his tail. ill just have to work on it this weekend with some warm water.
