Here is my lecture to him:
If you don't want to get stepped on, quit making yourself look like a ficus leaf. Also, I understand that in the wild you two wouldn't choose to mate for life. Here in the Summy cage, though, we're all about monogamy. So, play nice, share the crickets and remember the golden rule. She's the mother of the 47 eggs currently basking in the incubator. For that alone, she deserves some respect.
And here he is, looking all contrite and apologetic.
Sorry for the absence. I'm "swamped." (a little chameleon humor....they live in rainy places) Although I truly am crazy-busy.
I have a library visit at 5:30 - 7pm at the Santee Library. I'll be there with Cindy Pon and Laura Preble. Should be fun. I have a joke gift for them. I can't tell you what because you never know who's lurking. Mwaaaaa!
If only the lesson about not getting stepped on only applied to humans!
ReplyDeletePets are very entertaining. I'd be so bored without my cat. :)
Looking like a leaf will get you stepped on every time.
ReplyDeletelol, thanks for sharing, and have a good one. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteif by "joke gift" you mean cupcakes and a cappucino, wow. you are such a prankster, barrie. THANK YOU! =D
ReplyDeleteCindy....uh, no. Although that would've been good...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see those babies!!!!
ReplyDelete"If you don't want to get stepped on, quit making yourself look like a ficus leaf."
ReplyDeleteWords to live by... Have fun at the library!
What a soap opera! I shall stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteWatch your feet, fellow lizards!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Friend!
Comfort Spiral
if I could get there in time I WOULD be in the audience. :-)
ReplyDeleteUnless he’s mastered the English language, it must have been your firm tone of voice that did the trick. What a great expression you managed to capture with that photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the chameleon saga stories, complete with photos. When your library visit is over you must tell us what the joke gift was. Interested parties want to know.
ReplyDeleteYou just think they would have learned that by know. That looking like a leaf thing can be so dangerous! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis story was too funny. Do the police handle chameleon domestic violence calls? I wonder...
ReplyDeleteanother reason i need a pet! :) hope the library visit went well!
ReplyDeleteoh my! Is it possible that they may mate again and you'll end up with another 47 eggs? That's a lot of babies :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just stuck at 47 eggs. Will they ALL become chameleons, or are there more domestic horrors to come?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, your humor and sarcasm makes me laugh out loud! 47 eggs - are they ALL going to become chameleons?
ReplyDeleteYou had better tell us all about the library function with Laura Preble and Cindy Pon - we'd love to know!
loved the recipe box! my speech went well and i had so much fun hanging with college kids pretending i was 20! =D can't wait to see you again! maybe december?
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile...and I am addicted to reptile stories and updates!!!!!
