Hello readers of my blog, and welcome to my getaway!
Today I'm going to tell you about a very interesting creature named Coconut.
This my brother's Jackson Chameleon.
Isn't he coolio?
The awesome thing is we didn't even have to buy him a cage, he will just live on house plants.
Of course you do have to watch your step when you enter the house after a day in town, he can be in the most mischievous places! The shoe rack is one of his favorite spots.
And you really do need to be careful of predators when you take him outside to eat!
Speaking of eating, he has a really cool way of catching his food! We will take him outside, and he does the rest. As soon as he sees a bug he stick out his tongue and... WHAM!!! Another bug down the hatch.
He really likes grasshoppers, but there have been so many of them lately that he is beginning to get a little bored of them. Plus the grass hoppers are getting so big! Some of them won't even fit in his mouth. Try to keep him away from bees, although I think he got a yellow jacket once.
This winter he is going to need a heat lamp, and we are going to have to buy him some bugs. But that's not a big deal at all, so it's very inexpensive to own a creature like coconut. Unless live in a place where it's cold all of the time.
Over all he is a very low maintenance pet, and fun to have around!
