Coolest thing ever.....

[Andie]

Hey, All.

My Panther, "Pixel", did something I'd never seen the other night. It was so cool, I decided to start a new thread to discuss all the mind-blowing things these creatures can do.

So, please share "The coolest thing ever..." about your cham.

Here's what he did: He's currently in a temporary, converted parrot cage. He always lays on the top perch/branch under his lights, just before going to sleep at night.

I went up there to give him an extra watering, because he's in the middle of a slow shed. I pull the cage out from under the lights, in order to water him all over. Since it was so close to the time of his lights shutting off, while I was spraying him, his skin began to go into his "night time colors." (pale yellow with pale red)

I was so amazed he was doing it while I was spraying him, then I realized his lights were still hitting him on his other side. So, I looked around at the other side and he still had his regular deep green, daytime colors going!
He was literally split in half with his coloring! It was the coolest thing ever......!

Neat eh?? Try holding a leaf between the chameleon and the light source then quickly moving it away a minute later.

The other thing he does that freaks me out a bit; I let him hang out in my kitchen window sometimes. He has his own perch there. If I wait too long, he begins to go into sleep mode. When I lift him up and put him into his cage, he just grabs onto whatever is in front of him, then freezes in that position for the entire night.

The other night he was hanging by 1 foot with his tail around a small branch. Hilarious!

"Coolest thing ever" @Andie ?

Some of my chameleons are lazy little gluttons and like to sit inside the feed tub to eat. Recently, one juvenile male actually shot and nailed a dubia between his hind legs. The dubia was behind him. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.

My little guy did that too! I made a thread about it too, called "Two Face"!

This is what he looked like.

I call it "hangin' by a thread"

He's sound asleep.
