It was so freakin awesome. Calypso was turning all kinds of green and yellows with some faint blue. I'll put the pics up here in a sec. The only bad side is as an overprotective parent I'm worried about the plant I put her on and if one of the red ants I saw bit here. I took a bunch of pictures of the plant. Really the only thing that worried me about it was the bottom where new chutes were coming out had white sappish looking stuff on it. Not sure if its a ficus. About the red ant thing; I thought I read that they like to eat red ants, but she didn't eat a one? If one of them did bite her is there anything I need to worry about?

I'm pretty sure that brown lizard is a green anole/American Chameleon. And as long as your Cham didn't eat the plant it will be fine.

if you want your chams to get some sunshine move their cages outside don't just let them out in the bushes, it's safer!

I take my Senegal outside about once a week. Since I hate all of our bushes (and our neighbors cats that tend to hide in them and chase birds, I am never going to put my cham on a bush, but that is just my choice. I did however, get a really tall fake potted tree yesterday at our local goodwill that I am going to use as an indoor outdoor free range (outdoor will always be supervised)
Up until now, when I take it outside, It just sits on my hand or climbs up my arm a bit. It seems to like it. It gets a really bright green unless it is too hot out, in which case, we stay outside for about 2 minutes then go back inside. It's not much time, but I don't want an overheating animal on my hands (literally).

Good idea, and I wouldn't put a little one in anything other than one of those potted plants like slugs doing. Today I took her out again. This time I found a shorter cut group of bushes that I thought would be easy enough to manage. WRONG, chams are smarter than I thought. She had an ever so slow approach to some monkey grass that I was underestimating, and by the I repositioned myself around the bush she had bolted in. My heart sank shortly followed by a rush of energy to find her. She had turned a grayish color I had never seen trying to blend into the lower grass and dirt. Way too close of a call. I'm seriously thinking about going to get a plant here in a second to just put outside for her.
