WillHayward Apr 25, 2006 11:45 PM

Ignore those previous photos of this guy... He just shed. And... I'm Awestruck.




Notice how thick that that shedded skin on his foot is... like a kid without having a bath in 2 weeks.

Will just a question. I have a jackson bout6-8 inches. I read that when showering the water should be hitting a side wall and deflected onto the plant. Is that not so, preference or your guy likes it right on him?

he looks super

WillHayward Apr 26, 2006 01:04 AM

I reflect it aswell... check the photos again. Its bouncing off the bar that the plant is hanging from.

Think I got it now. I see its aimed at the corner. Guess it was how I was looking at it.

Thanks for the help

WillHayward Apr 27, 2006 10:57 AM

Yep, it looks like I freeze framed the water falling, as if it had only JUST started to spray when I took the photo.

HOWEVER, for the larger chameleons, I often to angle it in a way that some of the water hits the wall, and some of the water, falls directly on the branches. But I make sure that there are areas where no water falls. The larger chameleons, especially the WC ones, don't ming the harder water drops hitting them.

Thanks for the Info. Doing a shower this weekend. For the cham that is. I take one everyday. All 2000parts

WillHayward Apr 27, 2006 10:35 PM

Haha, I should hope so. Don't be afraid to leave them in the shower for a long time. In the wild they could last for hours and hours, probably days and days.

No WONDER you wanted to wait for him to shed! He's a little too bright to be named Ductape, so find a new name- and fast. LOL
