Good morning everyone! Quick question, Darkstar just turned 5 months old and I've started to notice sperm plugs (made for an awkward morning when I loudly exclaimed to my partner that "Darkstar hit puberty!!!" I was met with lots of side-eye ). Anyways, searching the forums I see a few folks mentioning that when chams begin puberty their personality may change. For the firs time, he's "huffed" at me in the morning before I feed him. Is he possibly starting to become more territorial with age? He still likes to hand feed and doesn't show stress coloration around me. Just seems like he likes to act tough.

Thanks!

Picture update! Darkstar is just about a week shy of his 6th month hatchday. He's growing like a weed both in stature, coloring, and personality. Recently, he's discovered the joys of free ranging and helps himself out of his enclosure if I leave his door open (supervised, of course!) The little bugger!

Thank you! It has been a blast to watch him grow both in stature and personality. Looking forward to seeing more of your Panther as well!

Thanks. Its exciting seeing them develop.
I can't believe the colors in yours at such an early age. Awesome cham.

Dark Star is 14 months old! He is very inquisitive, friendly, and frankly outgoing for a chameleon. He practically runs to me when I open his cage. Love my sweet man.
