FOUND! pictures of Sarah my chameleon

[SLACkra]

found some more pictures of my old chameleon. sorry for the crappy shots i took them on a standard camera and i was 14...

sorry about the last image being red, no idea why it looks like that. the big cage was aproximatly 1mx1mx1m and was built my me and my dad. all those images of her are when she was an adult. the blue tub was originally added just in case she decided to lay so she wouldn't get egg bound. also i placed her crickets in there or hand feeded them to her. course if they went in the tub 1 or 2 of thier hind legs were removed(no excaping).

cheers

They might be, as you put it, crappy pics but it certainly NOT a crappy animal! It's a beauty That cage looks good too, is it made out of electrical conduit? Whatever it is, nice job

well the bottom of the cage is from one of em things that goes on the roof of your car as extra storage. the frame of the cage is PVC piping and the mesh is your average mesh. 15watt uv lamp and a infa red heat lamp. a couple plants. i really liked the design i could actually fold up the mesh part a bit cause the pvc piping rotated a bit.

cheers

If the cage is approx a metre high that makes the cricket tub about 300mm tall, the cham didn't have any probs getting in and out?

there was a stick leading to the edge of it. she never laid that was really a just in case type thing but it was a good feeding tub.

also in the first 2 pics you can see her throaght puffed out, shes a wee bit scared of the camera! also forgot to add that she was a female vieled chameleon males get much larger and have a bigger veil thing ontop of thier head.

i think i got a clear picture of her when she was a baby will try to find it!

I love the chameleons, what a facinating animal they are. You're a lucky fella Andrew having once kept one of those - I bet you miss it.

Nice animal Andrew, looks rather, errr, relaxed in the pic above the cage, do they um, sleep like that?

relaxed in the pic above the cage

in the very top pic she is very annoyed. she has her throaght puffed out and has flattened her body to look fat. she didn't like cameras!

thanks for the nice comments!
