Let me see them toes girl!

[Brodybreaux25]

Had a few different threads this week on nails, how to wear them down via proper viv set up, and if trimming them is acceptable. Reminded me a while back a friend and I were discussing how much they can differ from species to species, specifically between veilds(female in my case) and Nosy Be(male). The difference is staggering. I’m sure this is just another product of evolutionary divergence so I’d be curious to see other members toe shots to see how consistent these differences are as well as see where other species land on the spectrum!

Momma, 3yo female veild currently receptive:
Massive dinosaur like claws

Roux- 1yo Male Nosy Be. He wasn’t happy about waking up to a face full of phone at 5am, giving me his classic stink eye. He’s got stubby little claws and feet, like in the new Godzilla movie he’s trying his best to emulate!

Here is one of my jax jax males. Not very threatening.

Clarice definitely takes pride in her nails - those things are incredibly long and sharp. She’s a very active climber, but doesn’t climb the screen (and slip) like her brothers do. I’ve also noticed the veiled’s have pointier, thinner nails... the panthers have thicker, stubbier nails.







And here’s Walt’s... uh.... feet

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Wrong toe Walt!

Wrong toe Walt!

I am Cornholio!

He is a pretty boy. Donnie, Clarice, Charlie, and Lola said thanks!

My girl Vivian definitely takes the cake!



My girl Googley here has some super sharp claws and shes about 1 week post "pairing":



My boy Demetri has always had some needles, but never like my girls:




And Dexter is always out and about. If hes not free ranging the porch/back yard, hes usually roaming around the living room... not much in the way of claws but definitely the strongest tail/back legs:



Delilah had/has MBD but is getting around much better of late:




And lastly is "Itty Bitty" - who isn't at all itty or bitty any more. Shes about 4.5 months now:



I just realized I don't have pictures of my WC girl. She's currently digging through her laybin, otherwise I'd get a shot of hers, they're quite good.

Grumpy’s got little hypodermics on her feet.


Stella’s aren’t quite as long.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Definitely a pattern in the veilds, male and female. I wonder why they evolved such long claws compared to the rest...

Another not so happy cham at 5am this morning. The older she gets the stranger her sleeping colors become.

Twins! This was from Mamas most recent war against my pitcher plant. Tries to dig it up every time.

 

[kinyonga]

Nice looking bunch of chameleons...oops meant toes!

 

[AnamCara]

Little grippers!

 

[USMC1981]

Walter!

 

[Graves923]

3 Year old male Veiled. Long, sharp, needle nails. His teeth do more damage though.

 

[The Wild One]

Codas little needles are growing fast! This is one of the reasons I’m happy why she doesn’t want to come out lol.

 

[snitz427]

awww. My guys are all very gentle, their nails don't hurt or bother me at all... unless something startles them or they slip. Then they'll grab on tight, but even then, it doesn't hurt. Some are more sensitive to it then others.

Their little shark teeth on the other hand....

Please don't make fun of my boys manicure

 

[USMC1981]

Please don't make fun of my boys manicure

The blood of his enemies still drips from his manly claws
