Articus continued

[ataraxia]

this is the rewarding part of all those crickets rear legs you pulled off, those trips 1 hour away just to get feeders, those 2-5 minute manual mistings 2-3 times a day, not taking that vacation because of your joys, etc...

To watch and admire what god has created!

heres some pics of him showing his deeper darker colors

Some fun with photoshop

 

[clarkrw3]

He has amazing color...If you hadn't told me I would have thought it was two different chams.

 

[pantherlover]

I can totally relate. One of my favourite things in the world is to wake up early Saturday morning and admire my chams. Trials and tribulations are well worth it. Atticus is a true stunner and your obviously doing a bang up job with the husbandry.

Wow, what stunning colours! I've only had my little one three months, and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm becoming obsessed I think. =O All the effort is definitely worth it!

 

[carol5208]

He is a gorgeous animal!!

 

[ataraxia]

thanks for the compliments. i really enjoy him. anyone notice how panthers skin is so soft? even my females are soft.

 

[DavidBuchan]

Hell yeah! Chameleon skin is surprisingly soft! Three cheers for Sir-Mists-A-Lot! And for mistkings too!
Also, That Cham is AWESOME, and the second photoshop picture is quality. They should sell them in the reptile house gift shop

[ataraxia]

thanks you guys!

 

[Ace]

he looks awsome, thxs for sharing the pics, i love his dark reds and purple

 

[mbondy]

Pulling the hinds legs off crickets...so that's how you hand feed = lightbulb moment! Well I don't think I can do that...I can imagine someone pulling off my hind legs...ewwww! So cup feeding it is

 

[ataraxia]

Ace: thanks

mbondy: it is actually very easy.if you pinch the rear legs with your thumb finger nail to your pointer finger at the knee of the cricket. it literally falls off. this actually make the cricket slower and it cant jump.

stick to your cup feeding though

 

[ataraxia]

anyone know where i can get some BB flies or lady cats?

 

[melric]

tiki tiki has blue bottle flies. Again Articus is amazing! Love your contest entry.
