OK, here's the little guy that replaced the first one that was DOA. Thanks again Tom for replacing him, this little fella has a great future ahead of him I think.... I still haven't settled on his name, the kids are still coming up with their choices, but to keep with the Western theme of his sire Cowboy, I am voting for Woody.

He's stunning! Congrats on your new one. TKilgour is a very nice guy for doing that. I love the name Woody, but when I was little I always had my favorite toy which was "Woody" from Toy Story. c:

That's the Woody he would be named after, he's a cowboy right? LOL! I thought it was a cute twist on a namesake for Cowboy....
 
its neat when you have someone you know who owns a sibling so you can watch them grow up. I have a Sambava also and his brother is owned by a member on here and it has been fun comparing them over the past couple of years.

That is pretty cool. I actually have two brothers from tiki tiki's skittles sire. They both look totally different from each other color wise right now.

Op that will be a great looking Cham for sure. I'll look forward to seeing all the cowboy babies grow up.
 
I updated the sad story on my Sambava in a different thread, but short story is that I got up one morning 5 days after I got him and he looked beyond terrible, sunken eyes, very very dark coloring, etc. I tried to rehydrate him in the shower, etc., but he died that afternoon. The only thing Tom and I could think of was that I put an English Ivy topiary in his cage temporarily til his new larger cage came in, and he must have gotten poisoned by that, possibly by the silkworms either munching on the leaves or just by him ingesting some of the leaf that was maybe stuck to the silkworm's legs. It was a horrible death for him and I beat myself up pretty bad about having a plant in there that wasn't on the safe plant list. I looked at Devi'ls Ivy (Pothos) and expanded that in my head to all ivy.
After I regrouped, I purchased a Nosy Be unrelated pair from Tom, and they are both doing great, so it was either that plant or some mysterious sudden illness. The chameleon literally went from looking fine the day before (when I put the silkies in there) to dead the next afternoon. Has that ever happened to anyone else? I hope it never happens to me again....
