our chameleon

not a very good picture but this is our newest pet. a yemen chameleon that my youngest named "red"... then told us he was green!!
we put him on my neighbours Camelia the other day(quite appropriate I thought) and had a struggle to get him back again

We used to get these in our garden (and house) in S Africa all the time. Our cat loved to chase them. Amazing how they can change colour so fast... What do you feed 'Red'?

hes a real piggy he eats crickets,hoppers/locusts, wax worm,meal worms, butter worms, dandilion leaves,chopped grapes laods really. I let him out every now and then just to have a wander but hes a bogger to get back in his vivarium
so my hubby has decided to make a large one for him like double wardrobe size, then at least my net curtains wont get ripped hehe

Cor, I admire you for looking after one of these, not the easiest of critters! I suppose you buy his food online? I'd hate to think of you trawling your neighbour's garden for those snacks of his, lol!!!
