Really weird behavior!!!

chamcham505 Dec 30, 2005 09:30 PM

Just got my new Camera in, so I'll be updating with quite a few pics if that's alright with everyone!

Well, Today I witnessed Cobalt use one of his back legs to scratch under his chin, than he lifted up his arm and scratched under his arm! Just like a dog would. I wish I had my camera out. Is that...normal?! Just wondering if anyone else has witnessed similar behavior in any species of chams! Post if ya' have! and Thanks...

I have seen my veiled, Lucutis, scratch skin off his head with his back foot when he is shedding. But that's the only time I've witnessed it.

I have see my Amblobie Bobo scratching the top of his head with his back foot before. I thought the same thing. He looked like a dog. But considering he thinks he's human.......

I saw my male veiled doing the same thing, trying to remove skin from his head. I tried to get a photo. This is as close as I got to capturing it.
