HELLO ALL! Introducing my baby Chameleon and I

[raggedyandy]

Just seen this board online and had to join. Proud owner of a baby Veiled.
I have not named this lil one yet. I think it is a female. I purchased it in July. I mainly was a monitor lizard guy growing up but wanted to try something a bit easier to house. I just cant decide on the proper name.

Wanted to type more but I am using a cell phone right now to post. Really is a hardy lizard. drinks from my mist bottle like a puppy which is always good for laughs. I always dust the crickets with calcium powder. So far so good. The cage has real plants and branches. Likes to sit on my shoulder when I watch tv at night. Sorry the photo is sideways. I should of cropped it before hand.

Wow thanks. I moved alone for a job away from home and the Cham brings me alot of joy when I come home from work.. I enjoy watching it eat and it lets me water it with a mist bottle. I assume mine is female? We watch together as it sits on my shoulder or rests on my arm.

yea it looks a bit rounded at the elbow. cute lil buggar and i feel you on coming home to watch live discovery channel lol AND you get to watch it grow up.. my veiled were pretty big when i got them so i missed that part.

PRO'S CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG:
if it has little spurs on the back feet its a boy. i read that male veiled's also have a "thicker" tail and a "bulge" similar to that of a panthers and females have much slimmer streamlined tail starting at the vent, also very similar to how a female panther's is shaped.
