Thanks. Yea i posted it on their FB.. Chance is by far the most spoiled Cham! For god sakes i wake up early to take him tanning before work. lol!
 
WOW! He is a fireball! A fireball with slight greens... and whites lol. He looks so fake just because how great he looks but I know he's not. And he looks super healthy, you got a great cham.

Thanks A lot. He is a really healthy, really robust Cham. I gutload his feeders separate from my other Chams. I have been trying different things with him and i want to try to keep things controled. I just got a few Hornworms for him to snack on, then back to a steady supply of loaded Dubias.

WHOA! That's one red chameleon. He's spectacular.

Thanks Trace..
 
Chance had a little trip to my Daughter's school for a "show n tell" Diversity Day. He is perfect for this. Do doesn't mind being handled and will eagerly hand-feed in front of crowds.

This is him relaxing back home after the "show"

Im also trying to convince my mother to let me build a screened cage around this Maple in her yard in Brooklyn. lol:rolleyes:

Summer Free-Range!! Get some Hibiscus, Schefflera or Ficus planted around the base and cage the whole thing.:D

Finally got around to redoing the large cage for Chance since the Hibiscus that was in there was dead.

Went alll over trying to get a nice sized plant for his cage 3' x 3' x 5'... NOTHINGGGG!!!

Ended up getting a nice "small" Schefflera for my ExoTerra that ended up being too big, so i put it in Chance's cage with a Pothols. Came out ok. But i'm still looking for a taller plant to replace the dead Hibiscus.

HomeDepot had a deal where you buy a pot and they will re-pot the plant for free. The guy that helped me was really cool. Told him the plant was for a Chameleon and that blew his mind. He asked me a tonnn of questions after. He ended up potting the plant with Organic soil for no extra charge. Score!!:rolleyes:

This is how it turned out. Not really what i want , but it will work for now.

Thanks.

And thats what i was thinking . Having the Pothols grow in and fill in the blanks. He seems to like the cover and i catch him roaming in and out the thicket sections of the Pothols.
 
you should change his name to blaze, wow!

he's stunning man, really great job with him.

Thanks Dan, he is doing great, just got him 2 ladies so the "fun" will start soon, lol.. I was meaning to text you yesterday. I see you are selling your Nosy Be!...Went in heavy with the Cresteds huh? lol

i did man, i went crazy and have close to 20 now with some very gravid females :eek:

it hurts to let him go, but he'll be getting a good home. good luck with breeding him, he'll have some KILLER kids.

Yea. I have been mapping out the project all day. Expences, feeders,gutloading,incubating,which female to breed him to first, bins, extra mistking, cages, lighting, etc....$hit adds up.

My biggest issue will be the retained clutch. I'd like the clutches to be at least 3 months apart for my own cumfort level.. But with a female able to lay a retained clutch a month later has the possibility of having up to 80 babies at a given time.:eek:
