How You Bean?

Bean the Veiled Chameleon, 6 weeks

Hey. You. I see you over there. And I also see you over there. I see everything. But you can’t see me, can you? Actually, yes you can. I’m still working on my camouflage abilities. Because, as you can see, I am still very small.

I’m a baby, so everything in my life is changing all the time. I met my human, I’m seeing new things (and seeing them very well), and I’m figuring out where I blend into all of it.

It’ll take me some time, and a lot of shedding, to grow into my skin. But as I change, it’ll be easier to show my true colors.
