So I got two new chameleons late on Sunday night. Managed to sneak a handful of quick pictures in here and there the last couple of days so I could show them off to you guys.
They're both from Chameleon Nation.
Zaphod is a Nosy Mitsio, around 10 months old.
His father is Mufasa, his mother is Lexus, his grampa is GT3 from Screameleons.
He's a big boy, lol, I don't know why I expected him to be smaller. Very pretty lime green most of the time. His tail and lower half was reeeally yellow when I first opened the box, but I haven't seen him that yellow since then. I wish I had a better view but I have his cage up really high and have been trying to leave them alone.
He's also very fiesty & not a fan of my hands!! I had to take him out of cage yesterday to do some rearranging of his vines (some were too thin to support him) I hope he comes around & relaxes a little bit once he gets used to me. He doesn't seem bothered or stressed having me around or misting or even looking at him. He eats & drinks while I was watching, didn't wait til I left. He did, however gobble up his breakfast from a cup I held this morning, that was kind of exciting, wasn't expecting that, I just used the cup to carry the bugs up there, and thought hmm, I'll show him it's for bugs, not a scary cup, and he went "sweet!!" and slurped a couple up in a second. It was fun.
He's been exploring the cage, he likes the plant hangers alot, I think I'll get a couple more bushier hanging plants for him, as he's not so much a fan of the hibiscus. Maybe if I move it closer to the basking light. But so far he seems to like it more out in the open. Which is good for me, as I can see him better.
Anyways, #2:
Zelig is a 3 month old Nosy Faly. Yes, his dad is Raiden (son of Wylde from Screameleons) and mom is Nala (daughter of Slash from Screameleons)
He's tiny and adorable. I wasn't expecting so much colour this young, but it's great, he's really colourful! It seems like every time we look at him there's different colours. So much beautiful turqoisey blue, and you can see the reddish specks already too. I think he's gonna be gorgeous.
He seems less comfortable in the cage, but not uncomfortable about me when I've had to handle him. He's quite the little houdini, I've got to watch him, he makes a beeline for the zipper everytime I don't close it all the way right away. So far, he likes the top of the hibiscus, and climbing on the mesh. Haven't seen him drink, so I've been misting often, but he did eat at least a couple crickets each day. I have a lot of plants and have a hard time finding the strays crickets.
I have been trying to leave them alone as much as possible, except for misting a lot, so I don't have too much to report yet except SUPERCUTE!!
I'll keep you guys posted as they settle in. I'm sure I'll have lots of better pictures coming soon. I have more of Zelig than Zaphod so far, but I'll have more mitsio ones coming soon I'm sure. But here's something to tide you over.
Tell me what you think of my new boys, everybody.
