I am not a reptile person. Or any kind of animal or critter person for that matter! Most families here at Tenwek have "pet" chameleons. I have seen plenty and watched kids and adults handle them with ease. They are just a bit too spikey and prickly for me though.
But, last week was a milestone in my journey here! I did in fact touch a chameleon. Maybe I was feeling brave. Or...OK...probably because it was a tiny baby. The Bemms' chameleon had 13 babies, and Liam and I decided to check them out!
Liam was as unsure as I was! But, I would give him just a few months, and he will probably be coming home with frogs in his pockets and a lizard on his arm! For now, we will stick with baby chameleons enjoyed from a short distance away!
