Introducing Sabine!

[bbyoda]

She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Thanks for helping me name her.

 

[Sonny13]

Congrats, what a beauty and beautiful name

 

[MissSkittles]

Yay! What a little beauty! So tiny! Squee! Glad that you chose Sabine. Is a lovely name for a lovely little lady.

 

[Coop]

So cute! I didn't know they started off that small, how big will she get?

 

[AmandaS]

She is so precious and TINY!

 

[Beman]

omg it was one thing to see how tiny she is compared to your hand but dang how tiny she is compared to that zip tie! lol She is just a doll!

 

[Lindasjackson]

What a pretty tiny lil girl! Congrats on her and her name is perfect!

 

[Lindasjackson]

She’s a panther, right!

She’s a panther, right!

I believe @bbyoda got a carpet chameleon

 

[Lindasjackson]

Oh, thank you.

She's a carpet chameleon I got from @javadi. I've been curious about them for a while now - just smaller chameleons in general - and went for it when he posted he had some juveniles for sale. I would love a panther, too, but I don't have the space for another 2x2x4 enclosure. One day!

So cute! I didn't know they started off that small, how big will she get?

Thank you! About 4” (10 cm) from snout to vent and twice that including the tail - per Frank Payne's care sheet.

I thought I was prepared for how tiny she'd be but wasn't! I tried to get small ferns, pothos, a draceana with thin leaves and small branches. My plan is to hunt for smaller branches and a plant with smaller vines, haven't been seeing anything too great at Home Depot so far. I am also probably going to grab from fruit fly cultures and am hatching silkworm eggs now. Just such a difference from an adult male Veiled!

See if you can find the china doll plants. They have tiny leaves and stems.

Carpet chameleons are lovely that’s for sure, congrats .

 

[bbyoda]

Last night she slept hanging upside down from the ceiling with one arm dangling down my partner and I were very worried parents

She's currently hanging out on a dracaena leaf.

 

[Sonny13]

Damn so cute
(Happy to see my babies again, after a week)

 

[Snuits]

Omggg! You named her Sabine. I'm so excited hahahhaaha. If I ever get a girl we shall be twinsies, just saying hahaha. She is soo pretty! I'm in love.

 

[bbyoda]

Update: today Sabine ate a few BSFL out of my hand. It's day 2. It took me 9 months to build trust with my Veiled enough for him to eat out of my hand.

I think she also ate the baby Surinam roaches I put in a small feeding cup in her enclosure, but it's possible they escaped. She seems less interested in discoid roaches so far.

 

[Snuits]

Yay. ♡ that's great.

 

[bbyoda]

Today I found her using her feeder run. She's a smarty. She's also pooped a lot on the screen, as you can see left of the feeder run
