Have A Day Hawk

So today I decided to take Hawk outside to get some sun, and it was quite an outing. To start off I wanted to put him onto some uprooted Gardenia's that were placed in a large trash can filled with rain water. But instead of climbing onto the branches and going to the tip top like a good cham, he decides to rush to the bottom as fast as he can, and "SPLASH" into the water he goes...completely submerged. At that moment I was just like, "Ahhhh what are you doing"!? He was just so overwhelmed by being outside that he cluelessly fell right in. And it just happened so fast that I couldn't save the poor guy from dunking himself. So after I scooped him up and stopped him from flailing his arms aimlessly into the air as if to say, "help me!!!", I decided that this probably wasn't the best place for him to be, so I took him over to large Orange Tree that has yet to bloom this year. And what does he do when I put him at the top? Climbs all the way to the bottom and hunkers down in a tray holding holding another plant, and hides in the corner for several minutes. Poor guy is not having a good day at all at this point so in a last ditch effort to get him to enjoy his outside time, I scoop him up and walk him over to a large, bare, grapevine setup at the front of my property. And finally, finally he settles down and stays put, but he would for no reason stop puffing and firing up. And I mean he was huge! Well enough of me rambling; let's get to the pics. I would have to say that this is the best that I have seen so far:

Him in my hand to give you a general idea of his size. Look at all that orange

Why thank you. And yeah I would like to see some babies from him as well. Still contemplating on if/when I should get a female.
 
Man. You need to get that man a girlfriend! Veileds like him make me rethink finding Tini a new home and want to breed her. Id love to get babies like him out of her.

Well come on down to Florida, and Hawk and I could arrange that for you :cool:.
I really am thinking about getting him a girl though.
 
Well if I'm ever in Illinois with Hawk I'll swing him by for a little while ;)

And what's this new project you're talking about :)?
 
Well it'd have to be before the summer because shell probably have a new home by then...

Well. There's two different breeding projects....I'll tell you one. Carpets. :)

Oh I completely misunderstood what you said about getting Tini a new home. I didn't realize that you were actually trying to rehome her.

And it probably wouldn't be able to happen for Hawk and Tini to meet up :(. The farthest north I've been is Virginia, a long time ago, and no farther than North Carolina/Tennessee to go to the mountains once every blue moon.

And Carpets...nice :). Oh did you see the thread on the Carpet babies earlier? There was a great looking female on there :D.
 
Haha. Yeah. I'll be selling her sooner or later. :( wish I had more space for her. I'm gonna try and sell her to someone who will give her a home she can stay in. not just breed and sell or some kid who gets bored with her easily.

To bad they couldn't make up, Tini casque gets that all white look sometimes too. they'd make cute babies.

Yeah I know. :) that's who i will be getting my carpets from. I cant wait. Yes the carpets I'll get during the summer, the other two will come in 4-6 months and then the girlfriend around six. They have to hatch first. lol.

That's good to hear. Glad you actually care about your cham to feel that way. I can't stand how cham's lives turn out like that a lot of times :mad:. I mean I realize they're animals but they shouldn't be bred to death or be mistreated by people that have no idea with what they're dealing with.

Good luck with the Carpet's :). I hope you get that girl I was talking about, or whichever one's your looking to get :D.

And off topic, but are we like the only ones on the forum right now? I'm hardly seeing any new posts other than ours lol.
 
Yeah. But unless she goes to a forum member I guess i wont know. Just hope for the best. She was going to be bred, but ended up not. Not a lot of people want females anyway, so it might be hard.

I don't think I'll get that one, but I hope I can get a really cute one. I love how varied their colors are. I'm thinking either the bluish ones or a gold one. :D

Umm...yes. I think so. Haha.
