Just an update......Atticus is doing great, has shed a few times, color is really vibrant!!! He's eating well and doing good. I installed a couple of Google Nest cams on the outside of the enclosure to keep an eye on him. Set up an EcoTech Versa VX-1 pump for a drip system, works great.
For all those who are building or buying a new enclosure........build/buy as big as you can! Mine is 4' tall and 4' wide, and I am so glad I built it wide because Atticus utilizes every bit of it.....he is all over the place!!! Makes it fun to try to find him sometimes, it's like Where's Waldo ?

Thanks Steve......you're right, he does look a lot like yours! Maybe they are brothers?
I need to get a pic of him when he's really bright, those pics are more of his "relaxed" photos. Trouble is, to get his vibrant colors, I have to get him mad (or scared), so maybe not.

Did you get him from Frams? We bought Spike from Frams and he arrived late July. His hatch date was approx April 9-15th

Yeah they are so nice and their chameleons are absolutely amazing looking. They always respond to my emails and stuff and love to see picks of Spike
I will definitely be buying from them again. And they have solid silkworm deals! lol
