Thanks for the replies, all!

The MBK is only about 4-5 months old, male, and I got him from Neil Golli. Neil said he was eating like a pig when he had him. I'm not sure if this could be a reason for his behavior now, but when he was shipped (mid September) he got out of his pillowcase and was loose in the box. He's been tail-rattlin, musk-sprayin, and not really eating much since then.

Ari has basically decided that he wants to find this little guy a new home with someone who can get him back on track, then get a chameleon. He's always loved them, he's getting rather tired of snakes , and I think I know enough about reptile care now to try keeping one. I've been reading up on them from many sources, on and off for many years and more so now, and I think the choice is between a veiled and a panther.

So, any advice on this?
