My chameleon is silly

[Solid Snake]

...yeah I know they all are sorta, but this, I just dont know...
I keep a few seashells on top of Donahue's potted plants, to cover the dirt.
Well I have this one in particular thats special. Apparently its special to him too. He seems to think it looks delicious -_-
I have caught him twice trying to eat it!
Its huge, and almost as heavy as him, but he will hang down and shoot it, and LIFT IT UP amlost to his mouth, then drop it.
Maybe he is just excersising his tongue, but I have moved it, I do not approve of this behavior. I wish I had it on video, because its just ridiculous to see.
Here is the shell...

[danibug23]

[ChameleonRave]

Funny, but I would remove it, just so he doesn't hurt himself.

 

[Solid Snake]

I will let him know you said so

Yeah, I thought it was a "fluke" kind of thing the first time, I took it away from him this last time.





Know one knows whats special about the shell?

I don't see anything special about the shell, but maybe he is taking after his owner? Strange behavior can run in families.

Donahue and I are not related.
Stella does not display this kind of absurd behavior, so its not my parenting skills.
Maybe he is a slow chameleon

Have you given the shell to Stella to confirm this?

Hi, I used to work with people who are mentally retarded for many years. Perhaps we could find a less immature way to reference strange behavior?
