NEW REPTILIAN FRIEND (kind-of) (Serge) 3/17/13

Written by

Today on the way to church service as I were walking with Tanya, we spotted something move in the leaves and then saw something jump on the bamboo. At first I was looking at the place where I thought I saw the thing jump, but didn’t see anything untill I got much closer. And I saw a cool new reptile: the chameleon! It has camouflaged itself to the color of yellow bamboo, so it is hard to spot him from far away.

It wasn’t very big, but very beautiful indeed. Even though I got very close it still didn’t move, thinking that it’s ‘invisible’ and that I cannot see him. :P  LOL

It was very cute, so I spend the next few minutes playing with him and tried to catch him. I did manage to grab him once and then let go since his back is kind of spiky. Found a small thin stick and started touching him with it and rubbing his back, and meantime he didn’t move and still pretended to be camouflaged or invisible  :)

Then I decided to catch him again and maybe take him with me to Sunday service and pat him while we sing songs and then let him go at the end. So I managed to pick him up lightly again, BUT THIS TIME this little creature turned his head around and BIT ME!!  :O

So I let go of him instantly!

He jumps to the floor and runs over to bamboo and camouflages himself again.  :P

Of course since he was kind of small it didn’t hurt, but he did leave a circular imprint of his teeth on my finger and even in one spot he bit through where it started bleeding little bit.  :P  (great for memories)

Sadly I left him alone and carried on to Sunday service without a chameleon to pat.  :(

P.S. (I guess he lives around that bamboo place because I spotted him later a few times that day sitting on top branch camouflaged.) I like him. I want to have one as a pet!  :)
