Hey Laurie! 
Thank you for your kind words! I guess you'll have to travel to Canada to get a few babies whenever i'll have some! Maybe next year, who knows!
Hopefully in a few weeks or months i'll have more plants for them to hide on their free-ranging area! The male doesn't seem to be a big fan of the free-ranging ropes, but the female and my male sambava can't stop traveling when they are on it!!

Its so good to see that they are acclimating well. Ive only seen one imported verru for sale and sadly it looked nothing like the pair you received. You really lucked out finding that beautiful pair. Your female is gorgeous.

I have never seen this species either. They are stunning! The colors are so bright and I love the colors on the female. You definitely got a very nice pair of WC chams! Keep the pics coming!

You are right Texas Panther Man, and i have no reason to complain about the pair i received!
The only acclimatation worry i had was Calleigh not gaining much weight! After 10 weeks under my care, she only gained 5 grams, going from 36 to 41 grams. But she always remained active, with not too flashy nor too dark colorations, always eating fine and drinking very well. So i kept hoping and hoping! But compared to most importations, this is really not a big deal! And thankfully, this is the second week in a row that she has gained 4 grams in the same week! So i'm very happy!
Both were even tested for parasites and turned out negative! You won't see that often, especially when you know that they are imported and coming from a petstore!

@Ace: Verrucosus are so much easier to keep than most chameleons, and they are definately worth keeping! They handle low and high humidity very easily, they can tolerate low and high temperatures as well, and don't need to be hydrated much since they usually live in the desert or close to the desert! The only thing is they need a larger enclosure than pardalis, but this is something i love about them!
@Lynda: I can't guarantee when i will have baby verrucosus, but it's just a matter of time! And you can trust me, i'll do my best to have some, as soon as Calleigh can! I'd be so glad to give a few eggs to a few people i like! Knowing that they will be taken care of, and loved!

I thought i had an idea when i got them, but the more they grow up, the less i know! So i expect the male to be somewhere around 9 months, give or take 3 months lol. And the female is probably around 5 months, give or take 5 months haha!
It's really hard to guess since the female spent over 2 months without gaining much weight, while the male has been gaining over 10 grams every week for the last two months (except one week). *shrugs*
