My new baby cham

radstusky · Nov 20, 2015

Meet Ozzie, the latest addition to my cham family.

Here's a video of him as he emerges from the container he was shipped in:

And this is him eating a small dubia the next day:

He's a voracious eater so far. I plan to weigh him on a weekly basis, as I usually do. It's going to be interesting to see his growth rate.

Here are a few more pics:

Anyone want to venture a guess as to what he is?

I'm no expert (so don't poke fun LOL) but if he were a little more colored up I would guess a baby carpet. Congratulations by the way.

Congrats! Ozzie is absolutely adorable! He is so tiny and so cute crawling out of the deli cup and eating that Dubia. Looking forward to watching him grow up.

Well, I thought about getting a carpet, but no, he's no carpet. He should get quite a bit larger than a carpet.

Thanks Jann, It's been a while since I've had a baby cham. They're cute, but grow up so fast! The little guy was under 4 grams today.

You're half right! He's a pardalis/oustaleti cross actually. It's going to be really interesting to see what develops with him.

Eatin' like a champ!!!

jpowell86 · Nov 22, 2015

Lol, I guess I'll take the half right. I kept getting thrown off by the lateral line. It wasn't segmented like most young oustie's and not prominent like most young pardalis. This was a toughie. Congratulations though, he looks amazing!!
