I hate when flies sit on my Chams. Just makes me feel like I've failed as a dad

Love the photo.

If I could get my wife to do this to me with ribeye steak I would be in heaven, I know I should ask for filet mignon but I love the taste more than the tenderness. Yes Janet, you might over feed a bit! What happened to the joy of hunting? Maybe you shouldn't coat your neonates with fruit juice!!

I thought I was going to see something tragic like a baby Cham being eaten alive. I was very nervous clicking on this thread. Lol. But I'm happy I did this little guy looks SO done with these fruit flies haha.

The more they eat the faster they grow but that is ridiculous!

 

[Tortdad]

Ugggg. McDonald can't get anything right. I asked for extra FRIES!

I would never be so glib about something so awful as a chameleon being eaten alive. Honest.

I thought everyone would recognize fruit flies but apparently some people actually thought the fruit flies were eating my baby.

Poor baby was sitting on a high point--and the fruit flies decided they wanted to be there, too. Baby was just a completely covered mass of fruit flies. Normally they get really upset and thrash their tails to get rid of flies on them but he just sat there. It must have been very stressful for him. I've not dumped so many flies in since.

I got the joke as soon as I saw the picture. Great picture of a unique situation.

I thought fruit flies only ate fruit and chameleons

STOP misting with pedialyte!

Are you joking? Why would anyone ever mist with Pedialyte? I wouldn't even give it to an animal as it has too much sugar in it.
