crazy chameleons
I thought it would be fun to share some stories about these strange creatures. Like funny places you found them when they escaped from their houses, or the neatest colors you've seen them, or how worried you were the first time your girl was going to lay eggs, or how neat it was when you discovered they like to swim, or your surprise when they took a big chomp out of something other than an insect, or caught a fly in the air.....ect. Just strange things that they do that makes us love them so much! Hopefully then people who are thinking about getting a cham will have all the more reason to, AND maybe we can bring to light some of their more strange behaviours that aren't so often talked about because it only happens once or twice.
Lets try to keep this thread for stories only, and if you want to comment on one of the topics mentioned in a story, start a new thread.
thanks.
Destinee

Well, the first veiled we ever got used to tag me in the forehead with his tongue every time I went into his cage.
Also, I learned not to offer pieces of banana from your fingers. He got a little excited and nearly removed part of my digit trying to get the fruit. He seemed to think that if he simply chomped down harder, he would eventually get the treat.

I'm sure this happens to everybody... but sometimes it takes me literally like 5 minutes to find Clover in her cage and it turns out she was right in front of my eyes.

My old (and I mean OLD) male Veiled "Conehead" would climb down into his plants to go to sleep at night. While there, he certainly made himself comfortable as you can see.
Not a word of a lie, he would sleep upside down in the softness of the leaves. What a nut.

when my veiled chams are outside in their plants, and the wind is blowing....they sway ever so slightly once in a while. They try to mimic the leaves blowing around on the tree. But it is really really funny. The sway pattern is totally random as well. They'll sway just 3 times back and forth, then wait 2 minutes, then sway once.... and on and on.
hahaha thats great Trace! Old chams are cute.

My chameleon sleeps split eagle.... his 2 left legs hanging onto the plant hanger hook, his right two legs hanging onto the dripper tube... I have a picture that I'll post ASAP. Also, he plays hide and seek... He'll hide as soon as I go to look at him, but I walk away and turn around and peek over his stick and duck away the next time I look over... cute

Behind my house is a huge park, and I usually go for walks with my dog and take one of the chams along for some sun. Well, my one cham is soooo funny. She just loves sitting on my arm, or a stick if I bring one along, and just watches the world go by. She is usually quite calm, but this one time she started slinking away, like she was trying to hide from someting in the sky. I looked up, and there was an airplane! She thought it was a big bird that was going to eat her. It was soo funny!
