Camiezone babies from Homer and Big Girl

I feel like I'm becoming a Cham-me-dian!

I
Whoa! At that rate, you're gonna need to breed your own!!!!!

I have 100 more coming from @sauceghandi. I originally ordered 50
but then thought wow, that’s not even enough

Bart, Bart, Bart! He was so incredibly and brightly colored…until I grabbed my phone to get a pic. ~sigh~ I thought maybe if we went outside he’d put his colors back on. He didn’t put his reds on so much, but the blue! WOW! So blue! I wish my phone camera could catch just how gorgeous his blues are. @Beman just look at how handsome your nephew is becoming.

When we went back inside, then he decided to put on some of his reds…when they were hiding in shadow. I’m not deterred so easily…I grabbed my work phone and used the flashlight. Again, pics just can’t do the vividness of his colors any justice. View attachment 345226View attachment 345227
For all the hard work of being so sweet and gorgeous, he got some extra silkies.

Sounds like Bart is having a ROY-B-GIV Day. He's special and plays 2 characters. Blue and Violet. 2 for the price of one- if the Price is Right - he might play Red, Yellow or green. Multi-talented!

I love-love grasshoppers as feeders. They are highly nutritional, live long and require little care. Really, if we have another food shortage or you miss your grocery run! I'm just saying - they pack a lot of protein!

How about a nice grasshopper toast! .

@SauceGandhi is the best. Thanks for supplying great feeders. I hate crickets!

Eesh. All this hopper talk and now I’m feeling like I’m depriving my chameleons. I’ll have to think about it.

The best of all they live a long time. When I only had Carmelo overweight adult veiled), 1 order of 40 lasted almost 3 months. Maybe 2 or 3 died. I ordered 60 crickets. Ten were dead within 24 hours. I find dead crickets daily. I order 120 crickets a week. 35-40% die! I hate cleaning the Cricket bin - daily chore! AND I HATE DAILY CHORES! My hatred of chores started when I was 2 years old. This is one habit that's never gonna die.

Here is our Picasso, straight from the shipping bag to his new home. Few hours after his arrival he already ate 7 medium crickets.

I think we are all just like you. My friends start conversations by saying. How's Carmelo and Bolt? Because if they don't ask, I'm gonna tell them anyway- so it doesn't matter. They are gonna here about the boys.. I might be a terrible friend but I'm a great Cham Parent. That's all that matters.. Im selfish! So what! I don't care! (sinister laugh).

I’m the same way. I even go as far as to make them watch them on my cameras too

I’m thinking about it too. I might switch hoppers out with my dubia. 2 of my 3 chams won’t eat them anyways.

Me too! ROTFL! My Colleagues know that Monday mornings are Cham mornings

Welcome Picasso! Glad you’ve arrived safe and sound and seem to be adjusting quite well. I look forward to seeing much more of you.

Picasso already has the artist touch. Welcome, I know you are gonna paint and post beautiful pictures!

My boys will not eat Dubia, BSFL, Wax worms, or superworms. No matter how many times I try. They will not eat green eggs and ham. I'm limited to crickets, silkworms, hornworms and grasshoppers.

 

[ChamelaChameleon]

I was close ROY-G BIV!

 

[ChamelaChameleon]

I've been away from home since 8am. It's now 12:43am. I found Bolt asleep like this

That's not his usual spot .

Here is my line of thinking….

50 medium grasshoppers are $40.00 U.S. shipped. That’s 80 cents a hopper.

Crickets are 13 cents each at my local pet store. But I would estimate that 2/3 of crickets die within a week of purchase so they’re really 39 cents each.

AND medium hoppers are twice the volume of large crickets so they are really the same price when considering volume and shrink.

Also, hoppers don’t stink! Major factor there

I am going to set up a breeding tank for hoppers. It looks like I need a tall tank with a screen top, sand, and lots of branches. I’m so excited

Beautiful baby! Congrats!

Thank you for letting me join this conversation and please be patient with me if I asks many questions along the way.

Picasso is our very first (actually my teenager daughter’s) chameleon. But like any other parent, I will be the primary caregiver and the ATM for any expenses.

Done reading the whole 25 pages of this post. Wow, Picasso’s family are all handsome and colors are gorgeous! Can’t wait for our baby to grow like yours. Knowing mine is from @Camiezone I am confident our boy will be as handsome as many of you have.
