I have to say I really liked the first pic of Leeloo, that is to cute.
I really enjoyed the pic's of your veiled's eating as well.
I loved the video of Elwood too!

Thanks for sharing the pic's!

This world of reptiles is very new to me. I NEVER knew there were such beautiful creatures in this category!! When someone mentions a chameleon I just picture the little green guys, nothing as amazing as your guys and gals. They really are beautiful!

Not to take much of your time, but what kind of care and time committment are these guys?

Thank you so much for sharing them! The video says it's been removed, but I'll check back later in case it's back up.

Thanks for the compliments! The video seems to work when I click the link... Let me know if it still does not work.

Chams require(very basically).... their own Screen enclosure... 5.0 UV tube and a Basking Bulb. Plants and vines to climb and hide in, and frequent mistings (2-3 five minute sessions daily)(automated misters are avaiable)... And a feeding schedule with proper supplementation. That is in a nutshell. I would have say that while they are most demanding reptie to keep IMO, They are also the most rewarding as their beauty is incredible. They are extremely suspetable to stress, and do not like to be handled most of the time... They are more of pet to enjoy watching and should be handled minimally.

I love answering these questions so if anyone is interested in learning more about them never hesitate to ask, Email, or on the boards...I love it.

Take Care

Wow, they're absolutely gorgeous! McLovin' is stunning; his colors are so bright and vivid that it's unreal! I love your girls, too. It looks like you've done an incredible job as their owner/parent/(breeder?). :mrgreen:

 

[ArchiesFamily]

The video finally worked for me! Elwood is one cool guy! Thank you for sharing that.

Nice Joe, I think this is the first time I've seen your Chams collectively. They're looking awesome as usual.

Gosh... you know as beautiful as the panther boys are, the girls are actually quite pretty too.
Where'd you get the Ambilobe/Nosy Be from? McLovin is incredible. What do you think of the debate on keeping the lines "pure"?
Are you breeding the panthers? I've heard it's a pain!!

How nice vs. nasty are your Panthers? (i'm not even going to bother asking about the veileds! ) How do your boys react to one another?

Great colors in everybody! Love the classic rolled up tail look of the veileds!
