Fabio the Veiled Chameleon...in his new home.

like the title says Fabio the chameleon has a new home.in my room hanging out with this cool cat. he is pretty sweet eating up anything that moves.he also loves his romain lettuce.i want to let him roam a bit but i worry about him eating my house plants and there being a toxic reaction.he is also rather....how shall we say aggresive...or is deffensive the word? well he bites and hisses when confronted with a hand.sometimes it seems i just look at him wrong and he gets his stripes on and his defensive flat sided position.

if he isnt going after people i would say he is acting defensively, he is very cool though.
i too would be careful with all the possibly toxic houseplants being anywhere near him...

yeah i am checking into the toxicity of the plants..check this out his shed is all flaky around his eye and its making him even more angry.

its funny after looking at this picture next to the other one it seems like he has asumed the same pose for the following picture.now that i think about it it is probably a defensive position against the onslaughting camera in his home turf.

yeah, he appears to be displaying and trying to look all big, lol...

i got fabio some new roomates the other day and so far things are OK.they are little chubby frogs.two of them.he doesnt seem to mind them on the floor as he hates being down there anyways.they all seem to get along for now and they have similar requirments as far as heat and humidity.pretty cool.

glad they are working out...

decinded to move my chameleon down stairs so that he would have more interaction with people and he is not happy about it.

going with ecco earth again as this stuff lasts a ong time and keeps my maintenance down.holds in moisture well too.

here i have him in a bucket for transition and he is mad.

Once again he is not too camera friendly.It seems he really hates the fans and press,up close interviews are out of the question. [img][/img]
I might have to work out some covert means to snap a shot of him when his color patterns are in all greens.It really on takes a second for him to change to this dramatic tantrum coloration.
