Does any one have any out there? (Besides El*Train)

This is Bolan (after the late Marc Bolan). He's a 5 month old Veiled Chameleon.

I love this guy, I can spend hours watching him do stuff (unless he's just sleeping).

when i was a kid i was playing "tennis" with my dad out on our street one night and a bat flew right at me so i swung my racquet around to scare it off but it flew right into a particularly fine forehand swing. i was traumatized. the bat survived though

i live out in the boonies and it just kinda walked into my yard, it was little, so i figured it couldnt attack me too bad, so i chased it and just grabbed it haha, and then the little rascal just started coming into my house whenever it wanted to, so i gave it a name and kept it!

I had a Goffin Cockatoo. He was a drunk and stonner. Kid you not. We gave him beer and he would always fly out when we were cheifing. One day i found him eating the resin out of our bowl piece. Damn stonner bird. And he was quite a sight when he was drunk.

who are you to say that? If they have a bond he could easily handle it and treat it like a normal pet...

This guy litterly had a fucking full grown grizzly bear as his best man in his wedding. On top of that he had brutus to a thanksgiving dinner.

I'm sorry I worded it wrong and was in a hurry. I meant to say that the older it gets and longer it's been out of it's true element, there is a better chance that it's natural instincts will take over at some point and it could attack. And when an animal that is 250 lbs of pure muscle decides it wants to do something there is no stopping it.

Also you can't really compare it to bears. They are a lot easier to train, people have been doing it forever.
