I was checking craigslist last Thursday for chameleon stuff when, lo and behold, I saw that someone in the next town listed 3 chams for sale. (Didn't know you could actually sell pets on craigslist.) He had a 1 1/2 yr old (aprox.) male veiled, a sub-adult male ambanja/nosy be from Kammerflage's Bilbo (we have the receipt), and a sub-adult female Sambava from a local breeder. All came complete with cage, lights, misters, dishes, cups, vines, plants, crickets, supplements, etc.
To make a long story short, we came home with all 3, even though the veiled looks pitiful. His coloring is a bit odd, and he has a bent casque (from an old injury or MBD, or whatever- apparently it was that way when the seller brought him home from petsmart). Below are photos. The photo of the veiled is not as "fancy" because he was WAY too active. His photo shows him fresh out of the shower.
Common sense tells me we should have taken the panthers, and left the veiled behind. But, when we took him out to examine him, he was very strong and energetic, but not mean spirited. It was about 10Pm by then, and, after a few minutes, he climbed up to my neck, snuggled in, and went to sleep. How could I leave him behind?
They are all 3 settling in and drinking and eating heartily.
