- This is Karma,
the nosy be panther chameleon.
And our friends from FramsChams are coming later today
to bring us some new chameleons.
- I really love chameleons,
and I'm very excited for the guys from FramsChams to come,
so we can talk all things chameleons.
- And Lori actually reached out
to Brian and Carolyn from FramsChams
without me even knowing and inviting them here,
and working out a deal about the chameleons.
It's so cool to see Lori so excited about chameleons
as much as I get excited about my anacondas.
- I like ice cream.
- Jump over the wall, silly.
- I don't-
(Mike gasps)
It's a bit chilly.
Woo.
- We don't have all day, mister.
- Hang on a second. Gotta warm it up.
- What is he warming up?
- My leg hair just became (indistinct).
So, we're here to clean Bowser's enclosure,
So, we have to pull Bowser out.
Then you're gonna babysit.
Come on, big boy.
Don't bite my toes off.
- Hey, am I really grabbing him though?
- [Cameraman] Yeah, yeah, when he gets in.
- I've never done this.
I'm scared.
(Mike grunts)
I am terrified.
- What are you terrified of?
You'll be fine.
- I don't know. - You got it, Noah.
- Here, I'll get it. I'll help ya.
- Holy mackerel.
This is medieval. - [Cameraman] That's a dragon.
That's a dragon. - Wow.
Oh, wow. Oh, God.
Oh, and while we're cleaning him,
let's weigh him as well.
(Noah grunting)
- How much do you think he weighs?
- 90 pounds.
- I'm going with 87 pounds.
- I'm gonna say he's heavy.
- Gotta get the boy back to the gym.
Looks like I'm doing it.
- [Mike] Don't eat the boots.
(Brian grunts)
- Up we go, big boy.
What does he weigh?
- [Noah] 87, 88, 87.
- 87, yeah!
Bowser, we won!
(Brian B. cheers)
- [Cameraman] Is that what you guessed?
- I did, I guessed 87.
I gotta tell you guys a quick little story.
You know that these things are so old,
they can live hundreds of years.
See this little hole right here?
That hole right there.
Guess what that hole was caused from?
That was actually caused from. - A canon ball.
- A musket ball from the Civil War.
- Yeah. - You heard it here first.
Super excited,
I have Brian and Carolyn in the house from Frams Chameleons!
By the way, I'm gonna put a link in the description.
Go show them some love.
They're great people, and you guys brought me some gifts.
- We did.
What did you bring me?
- In this enclosure, we have a female carpet chameleon.
- Female carpet chameleon. - Yeah.
- And these guys stay pretty small, right?
- They do. - Very small.
She's almost full size. - [Carolyn] They do.
- This is almost full size here,
so it's gonna be a cool little kind of small size.
Of course they're gonna be here
not only delivering a couple cool animals,
but also teaching us about our chameleon care,
to make sure that we have the best care
that we possibly can.
Also, we have a podcast
that I'm gonna put a link in the description.
That's where we're gonna be on too,
so it's gonna be absolutely amazing.
And here's the enclosure that it's in right now.
It's kind of darkened up right now,
'cause it's obviously stressed with the kind of move
and the new environment that it's in.
But it's gonna be so cool to actually see it
kind of looking all of that pattern and color
that the carpet chameleons have.
And this is about an adult, right?
So, panther chameleons get pretty big.
You know, parson's get absolutely giant.
But these guys stay really small,
and they're just such a cute little lizard.
I absolutely love it.
It's gonna kinda get lost in this big enclosure,
but I'm excited about where it's gonna be able to hide
and how cool it's gonna actually be.
Once it gets settled in, it's gonna look amazing.
- Scrubbing Bowser's tub.
Is this what Mario feels like, 'cause he's the plumber?
He's gotta fix Bowser's toilets.
That makes sense.
But this is definitely one of the, like,
the big three biggest pain in the butt kind of enclosures.
The water features, stuff like that.
The waterfall, you gotta make sure the filters stay clean.
Everything looks nice.
This is a big centerpiece,
so as soon as you walk through the front door,
everybody sees it.
You might not see the turtle in it,
but you see the enclosure.
Ew, backlash.
- All right, it's time to feed Bowser.
Open up, open up.
I paid for this experience.
I paid for this.
- I'm not eating that.
(Noah laughs)
- [Brian B.] This is the panther.
- We can bring him out. He's actually pretty friendly.
- [Brian B.] Ooh, look how beautiful that is.
So, that's an ambilobe.
This is our, one from our Sam.
So if anybody follows us,
you'll see Sam, but this is a Sam baby.
- [Brian B.] Oh my gosh, he's so...
Now, how old is that animal?
- Six months now.
- Six months! And they take like, what,
nine months to hatch?
- [Carolyn] Yes. - [Brian] Sometimes longer.
Sometimes up to a year. - [Carolyn] Yes.
- [Brian B.] Oh my gosh, up to a year.
Look at him, he's like (Brian B. growls)
- [Brian] Yeah, he's like,
what's that big camera in my face?
- We incubate them all in our closet.
They're just in a piece of furniture in the walk in closet.
- Oh my gosh, and you guys said that,
how many babies do you have right now?
- 400.
- About 400.
So, if you guys are looking for a cool chameleon,
panther chameleon,
you guys got all kinds of different localities.
- We do, yep.
- Show these guys some love.
These are our new little monkeys here.
So, we need a name for this little cool little boy here
and this carpet chameleon here too.
So, down in the comments, let me know what you guys think.
- What Brian doesn't know is I secretly ordered a chameleon
from FramsChams and I'm super excited for it to get here.
- And I like ice cream.
- Bowser's looking at Mike in his enclosure like,
what are you doing in there?
- Hi buddy.
- [Cameraman] That's my home.
- That's my house.
- Get outta my swamp.
- [Noah] Oh, he doesn't like the butt touches.
Oh, maybe he does like them.
Whoa!
- I don't think he likes them.
- [Noah] He doesn't like them.
- Y'all can have your dainty little chameleons,
but I'ma have my monitors.
Come on, boy.
Woo.
All right, what a good boy. You're so good.
I always, he always cracks me up 'cause he's got,
he's got more energy than almost any animal here,
and yet he gets fed almost all the time.
He is a greedy, greedy little boy.
Here you go, bud. It's all yours.
You earned that, you earned that.
It's like my own little Jurassic World.
Take one more, get the heck outta here.
Yeah, here guy. You're so freaking cute.
- Well, I certainly learned a tremendous amount
about chameleons from FramsChams,
and the fact is that most people think that chameleons
are kind of really difficult and hard to keep.
It's really all about the setup.
One thing I learned is they want a lot more water,
but they want that water at night,
and they wanna be dried out during the day.
So, instead of running the misters here
a few times during the daytime,
we're actually drying 'em out in the daytime now,
and running the misters at night.
Five to eight minutes, three different times
during the nighttime.
You also want a lot of ventilation.
So, if you have the right enclosure that has ventilation
so they can dry out in the daytime,
at nighttime get lots of humidity,
so that they can stay really hydrated at night,
they actually do really well.
So, the truth is, is it's all about set up.
Don't shy away from getting a chameleon
because you're afraid of its fragility.
The fact is they can be amazing animals,
and with the right care and the right setup
they're actually amazing animals.
- I'm so excited. My shipment's gonna be here any minute.
And I'm also excited to see Brian's response
to me actually ordering these.
- Mike, are you almost done?
- [Mike] Yeah.
- I've been working so hard.
I'm just so exhausted.
It takes a lot of effort and energy
just to lay here, watching this guy.
Mike's got the easy job over there.
(Mike speaking faintly)

What is going on here, Lori?
(Lori laughs) - What?
- You are getting animals without...
This is getting outta control.
- How does it feel? - You come-
How does this feel?
- You come to me before you buy animals.
(Lori laughs)
So, obviously FramsChams was here.
You saw the chameleons that they just brought us.
And then I end up, I go out of town and guess what shows up?
Lori ends up getting...
Lori, Lori, Lori...
Geez, what's going on here?
- What are you trying to do?
- Lori ends up getting a shipment. What's in this?
It's from our friends over at FramsChams.
Well, I'm assuming there's a chameleon.
So, I just think it's starting to become
a little bit of a problem with you.
(Lori chuckles)
- Oh, do you?
(Lori laughs)
That's funny. - Ooh, look at this.
Look at that sticker. - That's a big old sticker.
- That's a big sticker.
Oh my God, I love it.
FramsChams is absolutely amazing.
And, oh my gosh, this is beautiful. What is it?
I mean, I know it's a chameleon.
- So, it's the female version of the one-
- [Brian B.] It's an ambilobe, then?
- Yes, yep. - Ah, look at that.
So, obviously the females aren't as colorful as males are.
And do you know old this is?
- It is five to six months.
- Five to six months.
- And then, they also told me,
so these guys will get like a light peach color
with maybe some pinks and purples in it as adults.
- Absolutely wonderful. - Yeah.
- And why did you get this?
- Because we had a cage and I thought it would be cool.
- Okay, I'm gonna use that.
Remember that. Remember that, Lori. Okay?
- Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.
Remember that I already had a cage ready for it.
- I can make cages. I can make cages.
- Yeah. (Lori laughs)
So, this thing is absolutely beautiful.
Wonderful. Good job, Lori. I'm proud of you.
- [Lori] She's big.
- Give it a kiss. Give it a kiss!
Oh!
- [Lori] I know.
(both laugh)
It's gonna kiss me.
- Okay, this is the enclosure?
- Yep.
- Look at that.
- This is her new home.
- [Brian B.] Here you go, sweetie. What's her name?
- [Lori] Don't know yet.
- All right. You know what that means guys,
down in the comments let me know what you think
the name should be.
By the way, go ahead and smash that like button
while you're down there, we appreciate it,
'cause we gotta somehow pay for this chameleon.
(Lori chuckles) - [Lori] Oh, shut up.
- I like chameleons
- And I like ice cream.
- This is a real lizard right here.
Hey, can you believe he can catch rodents
right outta the air?
I mean, he's a, he's just a giant dragon.
Cool. The hand eye coordination, man.
I need that dude on Madden.
Good catch.
- Boy, he almost anticipated that one.
Woo, oh (indistinct) look out.
- Hey Bruce, can you help me put Bowser back?
I'm sick of watching him
while Mike's not even doing anything.
- All right, yeah. Might as well.
- I'ma back to some work
while Mikey over there keeps messing around.
- Whoa, whoa. Hang on a second.
I'm not done.
- [Bruce] Shh. - [Mike] Don't "Shh."
- [Bruce] Shh, shh.
Go get him, go get him.
(Mike yelps)
- You were taking way too long, man.
I was about to get that foot.
(Mike laughs)
- I'm done, I quit.
- Hey, you missed a spot.
- [Noah] Right near that log, right by-
- [Bruce] It's still green right there.
- Sorry, the toilet scrubber only does so well. I quit.
- All three of the new chameleons are in their enclosures.
This is actually the female panther chameleon here.
She's right up at the top.
She's kind of settling in really good.
Of course, the carpet chameleon.
Kind of gets lost in this enclosure,
which is really cool, right?
You want 'em to feel comfortable and feel safe.
So the more foliage they have,
the better they're gonna be able to hide
and stuff like that.
And it's really important
when you have multiple chameleons side by side
to have visual barriers, right?
You can see that this animal can't see this animal,
can't see that animal, because if they see each other,
they stress out a tremendous amount.
And then, of course, we have the male ambilobe here.
Look at how gorgeous that little dude is.
I mean, he is looking so crazy.
And, of course, we've got Karma,
the long time nosy be panther
that we've had for quite some time.
Or, I should say Karma 2.0.
So, definitely rounding out our chameleons
here at the Reptariunm.
- We have way more monitors than this,
but this is the one definitely gonna end on with you guys.
I love all lizards,
but monitors have always been kind of my forte.
They've always been sort of my thing, I guess.
- [Cameraman] It's your favorite.
- Ooh, that was a gross one.
Ready? Ready? Down.
Get it, get it, get it, get it.
Good boy, good boy.
Good job. There you go, good catch.
He's so athletic, man.
They're their own, like, individual athletes.
One more, bubba?
There you go.
Oh, you're gonna take that one back to your layer.
Like dragons, huh?
- [Brian B.] Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.

that you can watch all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button,
it would mean a lot to me.
Also, hit that like button while you're down there.

- And I like ice cream.
