OT: Our new resident...

[loosbrew]

Hey Everyone. I thought that some of you may get a kick out of our new Meller's Chameleon...

He's (we're not sure really) only about 6 months old and is about 8" head to tail. Weighing in a whopping 26.3 grams!

On with the pictures...

Do you know alot about chameleons?

I kept leopard geckos in a breeding colony for a couple years back

Nice specimen.......wild caught?

He is not wild caught, captive hatched rather. Born and raised in southern florida from a WC mom. One of the last in the country to hatch last year, from what Ive been told.

I do know a good deal about chameleons, having bred Veileds ten or so years ago...having said that, I opted for a more demanding species this time around. They're one of the top 3 largest chameleons as well, shadowed only by Parson's and sometimes Oustelet's. So far he's been very cool...

That's pretty cool. Congrats! Now where's the pics of the 120?

I'll have to take some updated ones! It's going through a bit of a diatoms phase but everything seems to be growing strong!

I was looking into a dwarf specimen before I got into reefing and now I dont have the money to keep both.....

Good luck.....do you have an indoor/outdoor enclosure or just inside?
