Miss queen be was very insistent on the huge tree straight ahead with the huge flowers . We thought it needed pruning

Hello everyone, looks like all the babies are growing big, healthy and beautiful! Wow!
I am here to report on my baby boy, Arlo. Tomorrow will mark 6 months since his hatch day. I finally got around to weighing him and he jumped to a whopping 76 grams!
Today was the first time I’ve really noticed how much he has grown.
Since my last update, we had a really close call with a health issue few weeks ago. He wasn’t eating and I thought I was hearing some static in his breath. Fearing a respiratory infection, I got him to my vet the next morning. He got a shot of antibiotic and luckily, he started eating again in the following days and his breathing is clear. It was a very scary few days but I’ve made some adjustments to his enclosure and he is doing very well. One thing that made me feel very proud was the vet’s comment about his color. He was examining him and said that he’d never seen one so colorful!
He is back to himself but I’m keeping a very close eye on him everyday. He’s very hungry in the morning and I’ve discovered that he prefers to catch his food alive rather than have me serve him. So i now feed him his crickets out of a plastic water pitcher. It’s deep enough that they can’t jump out and he doesn’t hesitate to climbe right in there and pig out! I’ve recently started breeding my own silkworms, which are his favorite, so they are always in high supply. I’ve tried feeding him strawberries but he just hasn’t figured it out yet. I’ll just keep trying until he does.
I live in a small town and most people around here have never seen a chameleon before ( I admit, I’d never seen one in person either until I unpacked Arlo from his shipping package) so people ask lots of questions about him and he’s kind of found himself a little bit of small town celebrity, in my small circle of friends and family.

Haven’t seen any eagles here but I’ve seen plenty of big old crowsView attachment 208866 View attachment 208867 We finally got out after the Eagle sighting . We could not stay out to long it’s very hot and we had to keep regulating ourselves
