Hey all,
Some of you may know my little guy, Felix, from recent posts I've made about him. Days continue to go by, and this tiny little creature never ceases to amaze me.
I love all reptiles, and actually have a bearded dragon as well. In general, I never really thought they could express emotions the way we see dogs or cats do... So, never in a million years would I have imagined having a reptile that is as inquisitive, intelligent, and capable of some sort of emotion as my little Felix has expressed. Seriously, I'm beginning to think Chameleons just may have earned my new top reptile spot because Felix has completely changed my view of what these animals are capable of.
Compared to my bearded dragon, who lays around all day and is pretty content just.... being there....Felix actually seeks out people almost as some sort of companionship. As he grows older, his clingyness to people strengthens. He's at the point where he almost comes when called, like some sort of dog, the second I lay my hand open. His morning routines continue being the same of, "run to the front of the cage, pace frantically until mom sees me and lets me out, then climb right up onto her face" LOL. He does this everytime he sees me, literally. He's also started enjoying drinking water from my hands, or straight from the mister that ofc I must hold for him the entire time (his plants got infested with knats, so he has no real plants atm and won't drink from the fake plants lol). Basically, he finds ways to make me his personal servant each day and I keep giving into him because he's so stinkin' adorable. He even will ditch his tree time to just come hang with me while I do household chores and what not, sitting on my shoulder with his tail wrapped around my neck. He even likes to try and help with the dishes from time to time hahaha. Maybe he's smart enough to actually train him to do some of these things! O:
Seriously though, I just had to give some credit to these beautiful and intelligent creatures. I truly thought I was getting a reptile that I would only be able to observe and respect from a distance.... but what I got was almost like a 2nd dog LOL. I'm really looking forward to getting more chams in the future to see what sort of personalities they will have compared to Felix. I really just can't say enough good things about Panther Chams, not only admiring them for their beauty but also for their intelligence alone. The pet I was expecting to get, has been a complete unexpected experience entirely and has made me so excited for my next cham when the time is right!
I really need to film more video of Felix doing these things, because it even shocks me at how friendly and dog-like he's become. I'm wondering if he's even a Chameleon at all....
Anyone else truly amazing and in awe from these little guys?

weekends I spend most of my day cleaning their cages and cleaning out insect bins while listing to the chameleon breeder pod cast ... I even have a small speaker that plays rain forest sound in my chameleon room while i'm cleaning lmao !!! you never stop learning when caring for these amazing creatures so every day feels like a fresh day
