Here is a picture of Kami, our chameleon. Actually, it's an anole, but Kami the Cameleon sounded better, so the kids always thought it was a chameleon.

We bought Kami at the Puyallup Fair one year, from a street vendor. That creature lived about 5 years! My DH built a screened cage, and the kids captured flies for him to eat. The crazy thing was, Kristel would pick him up, turn him on his back, and start swinging him back and forth. Kami would then stay in that position--like he was frozen--and she could lay him in her Pretty Pony buggy (see pic). Very, very bizarre.

Poor Kami didn't do well in winter. No flies! So....in the summer the kids caught lots of flies and put them in the freezer. Then, in January, when Kami was hungry, I took out a fly, tied it to the end of a long strand of my hair, and opened the lid. Then I'd make a low "buzzzzzz" sound, swing the hair around, and SNAP! Kami grabbed the fly and swallowed. Amazing!

More Show and Tell Fridays are with Canadagirl. Some day I'll figure out how to put her very cool S&T logo on my site!
