4 days old - he looks older than that!
Who's to say that he'll never be a stud breeder - injuries and damage don't mean a thing. Look at the Kammer's #1 calyptratus - Flash Gordon. He sired some of the best looking veileds I've ever seen (including mine), and he was deformed from MBD.
Besides, I think he'll heal up such that you won't be able to tell he was hurt.
Tough little critters.
My cats usually ignored my chameleons - they liked the day geckos better.
A friend of mine in PA had a housecat, dog and 6' iguana free roaming in his house. his cat was awesome. He'd catch everything that escaped. Pete woudl come home, and his cat woudl be on the floor, with it's paw on top of a lizard. It'd sit and wait for him to come home. Never even scratched the things, depsite having claws.
The only bad incedent was when his big quad escaped, and the iguana mistook it for some greens. Chewed part of it's tail off and broke a horn.
Generally, cats are th eworst. They'll catch and kill anything. Probably the most effective predators. Interestingly, phelsuma seem to be good at evadign them. My parents have 6 cats - all with a good prey drive. My brother had a bunch of geckos free roaming in his room (cause he's a careless little turd), golden geckos, and Standing's day geckos. They were all reproducing in the room in the summer. We'd find dead golden geckos outside the room every once in a while. They'd escape, and get killed. the phelsuma, on the other hand, escaped more often, but never was one caught - despite being active at night much of the time.
They are smart suckers.
