He is almost 4 months right now!! I can't believe it!

He can be quite colorful when he wants to be!

I started a media album to post pictures to if you want to check out more

So he's about V's age. I wasn't given a hatch date, just that he was around 3-4 months old when he was shipped, so he's about 4-5 months now

I was hoping I could ask for your opinion @Traildrifterphalanx? I know some pages/posts back you mentioned you used an outdoor cat tent to give your Cham some fresh air, and was wondering how you liked it and is it sturdy? I am not sure if I want to spend around $60 on that or wait until Black Friday and just get full screen enclosures for outside. Thanks!

I love those tents for the bearded dragons. I only had Mamool test it out, they're very sturdy, but I think a chameleon would be very difficult to get out of it lol

Great,thanks for your opinion! I am still in debate, we live in the woods of Maine and there are so many critters. I would love something that they could go out into and be ok if I have to run into the house for a few mins.

The tents are a lot of peace of mind.
I left my crippled dragon out in the tent for about two hours unsupervised while I was at work so she could get natural sun. I gave her shade, came home and she was content out there
 
I fell asleep last night before I meant to, but I weighed an angry V this morning

48oz, feeling hefty now!
Bright white semi runny urates, and plenty of poops. More crickets arrived. He's doing very well

Awe, I loved when Barnaby could do that! V seems like a pretty calm dude. Barnaby is so chill, the minute I open his enclosure he is on my arm and in my hair in a second! I have a hard time feeding him when I am in a hurry as he is so quick and on me in no time! Though it would be much worse if he hated me, I will take the love any day:)
 
V is pretty calm, but he more or less just tolerates me. He isn't excited when I open the enclosure, but if I put my hand under him and give him a pat, he'll hop on.
When he's out, he's good. He'll sleep on me no problem

I would like to think he is just super excited to see me, but I am pretty sure he just likes an adventure! I have never tried having him sleep on me, I am always putting my human kids to bed when he is going to bed, I bet that is awesome though!
