My first was a 4 month old veiled, I call Grimmjow. My second was a 4 month old Jacksonii that I call Tiamat. My veiled is in a major growth spurt and has been in the same spurt for 2 months now. My Jacksonii is growing slowly but surely. His left/top horn is not growing as fast as his others. I don't know what the reason, maybe it's genetic. I don't worry, he gets plenty of water and food as well as supplements. But he recently started shedding so I know he's growing. The first time he's been majorly shedding since I got him 3 months ago. I assume Jacksonii don't grow much and fast due to living in a cooler climate. If anyone has a different solution, I'm always willing to entertain ideas.

My first was my male Jacksons, Kenya. (hence my name 
)
He is still doing great and now I have a gravid female Jacksons, 1.1 ambilobe panthers, and a dearly departed brev. :\
I didn't get a chance to get a necropsy on the brev- he may have just been kind of old though because he was an adult when I got him and the last owner had had him for at least a year.

In utter ignorance we bought a "werneri" female from Superpet, complete wit all the completely worthless trimmings (well, the viv is a nice home for out Temps now
)
Luckily Trace set us straight, and Skeeta (Meru Jackson) no longer has an identity crisis! (also a 6 foot mansion and everything to make her a happy princess. Except her nose horn
)

My first is, I think a female Senegal Cham, still learning a lot about her, but things are going well.

My first chameleon was a small rudis my parents got me for christmas, sadly, chameleons shouldn't be presents to young kids (looking back, it upsets me that they got her for me) and she didn't live very long.
Now, after a lot more reading and some experience- I'm a much better candidate for keeping chams

Mine was a veiled but i returned it to the pet store several hours later when i found out she couldnt climb one of the branches. her arm looked as if it were broken, so the manager of that nasty petshop *coughpetcitycough* lol gave me another veiled he had their and what do you know! it passed away the next day! i felt really bad because i had bought the complete setup and everything and it dies in one day. to make a long story short the guy gave me my money back and i went to a reputable shop one mile away and bought yoshi, a male fischer's. its been a month now and doing great.
