For those of you who don't know, I rescued Yuki from a petstore nearby at the beginning of the year. The petstore has since listened to my words, and their chameleons are a LOT better cared for now! No more bugs the size of the chameleon itself... they also only sell the older ones, not babies anymore. Apparently, most of the little ones ended up dying...
Anyways, here's what she looked like the day I brought her home:
Nowadays she's doing a LOT better. If I hadn't been with her this whole time, I would have thought she wasn't the same chameleon:
I am so proud of her for pulling though. She went from skin and bones to a fat little veiled She now hand feeds and I always see her drinking. She doesn't like being handled much, but she does tolerate my hand while feeding. (She does mistake my finger for food when I attempt to remove her for cage-cleaning. She has chomped down on my finger a few times, looking up at me afterwards as if to say "food now?" It's so adorable I could never be angry with her!) She has quite the character now, and was outside in the sun on the weekend. Unfortunately, there were a few buds on the tree and hardly any leaves, so she didn't enjoy it all that much. Hopefully next month will be better month!
And last but not least, our favourite little ellioti! I caught him climbing upside down in his cage again, so he's a bit embarrassed (I always let him climb down on my hand, and never forcefully remove him. Would hate to have him lose some claws...)
Unfortunately this image doesn't capture the blues he was showing under his chin and along his belly very well. Nor the oranges he was showing on his sides. His colours really are beautiful I also heard word that the rest of his siblings have died... one after the other they kept dying, so he is the only one of that clutch left. He looks completely healthy though, so I don't believe I am worried he will drop dead at all!
Come summer I should have some better pictures of them outside Of course, not together. Yuki already expressed interest in eating Marimo when she saw him the other day...
