OMG! I have to tell you guys what happened today! Lenny is my other Sambava who I keep mostly in my larger outdoor cage. The cage door is messed up cause the bottom is rotting and does not meet properly and will open on its own and I put a chair infront for now(til I can get hubby to fix it 
)Was in the midst of feeding, and forgot the chair as ran to get phone(I know I am an idiot) So get a call from old friend and a couple of hours pass...go out to check chameleons to find cage door wide open and Lenny MIA!!! Honestly, he is a weirdo and likes to crawl around on the bottom alot so my first plan(as I am in tears freaking out) is check the ground and all the lower plants. My yard is a 1/4 acre and is fully landscaped front and back. There are places to get out of the yard as our fence pickets along the front are about 4 inches apart. So, I am being told by my son that I am never gonna find him and I think of others on here whose chams who have escaped and have never been seen again and I am SO upset. I see my neighbor Joe across the street and I yell to him to keep his eye out as one cham is missing. He comes over and starts looking around and I go back in the yard to continue the search. Not even ONE minute passed and I hear Joe "I FOUND HIM" I went running out front and on the side of my house there is a fence that borders my neighbors property and there he was rustling around in a plant that was low to the ground! He had seen the plant moving. Thing is the fence does not meet the ground and he could have easily walked under to meet his fate with my neighbors pit bull barking at us on the other side!!! I grabbed Lenny, kissed him on the lips(seriously!) and kissed my neighbor too!!! I still cannot believe how lucky I am. He walked over 100 feet and went under the fence. He could have been gone forever. Lucky he is a goofball and likes to stay low!!! Just got thorough talking to my hubby and he promises a new cage bottom this week! Thank God!!! I am soooooooooo greatful that my escape story had a happy ending!!!
