Omg!! After 4 months i found yoshi!!!

Glad to hear you found your chameleon! I believe Yoshi is a female judging from the pictures. Surely a female that has been growing well and steadily could have a nice casque such as hers!

I'm not sure if this is a major issue, but is it possible that Yoshi may have parasites after being in the wild for so long? Obviously she is healthy and thriving now but I still think it might be worth having a fecal done or using reptaid after all that she's been through! How is she adjusting??
 
Well the current Yoshi is definitely male. Female casque and coloration is nothing like the picture of that male. The old Yoshi is unidentified until I see a hind foot clearly. That little nub/wart/growth of a spur is there from day one of a veiled baby and if you look for it, it is noticeable.

Besides finding [your] cham after so long, I'm not at ALL surprised that it survived a Texas summer. They are from extremely hot regions of the Middle East, and the humidity is famous. They survive on condensation in the cool mornings, bring their bodies up to a good temp to get muscle action and digestion, then head into shade to estivate during the heat of the day. I used the internet to follow daily temp/humidity of Yemen for a while. Eye opening.

Another part of me still thinks you may have found a different Yoshi. This also would be very very cool! How many lost veiled chams could there be in your area?? Further, I wonder how large Yoshi was at the point the escape was made, and the subsequent size of the found Yoshi.

This is a story for the books!

that's one epic story!! He survived naturally outside you house! he was soooo lucky a animal didnt get to him first.
Thats like winning the lotto man the chances of finding him were slim as can be!
 
That's wonderful news, I'm glad Yoshi made it. And that's a great name, I named the chameleon I had as a kid Yoshi! Makes me want to go home to my baby veiled, still coming up with a name and trying to figure sex... Hope all goes well with yours.
 
That is simply extraordinary :)

I would have had to do a triple, even quadruple take!

I'm sure Yoshi's mind is blown that his lost owner is still alive too. :p :p
 
this is an extrardinary story!!!! he got so big while on his "vacation" hahaha. how has he settled into being inside again? how big is he now?
