Is a chameleon my code buddy?

So, I'm house sitting for friends off on a skiing holiday, they have a chameleon, so I'm chameleon sitting as well

I'm working on my VR / 360 video project and that's going great - Jamroom and A-Frame, perfect Easter coding for me

It might be a coincidence, but for the first time in ages (I've been working on this project for at least 3 years) I'm making great progress, feels like everything is coming together.

Chameleons have a 360 degree view of the world (their eyes are amazing), and Charles the chameleon seems to love watching me code and occasionally scroll around a panorama.

I'm wondering if Charles is my 360 code sorcerer's familiar, or if a chameleon is some kind of VR spirit animal.

What do you think? Should I get a chameleon of my own? Or just kidnap this one?

Sorry guys, broke the banister and stole your chameleon. Hope you had a great skiing holiday.

He's super cute!! nab him.

Wow - Does he have the run of the house? It would be scarey bumbing into him unexpectedly.

No, he has a heated place of his own. When he's out he mostly just moves slowly around the clothes horse and tries to climb onto the monitor occasionally. He seems fascinated by screens in general - I'm told he loves watching tv!

So I guess getting him to try and catch the mouse pointer like you can with cats is out of the question?

I wouldn't want to try that - he catches things by shooting out his very long and sticky tongue. No lizard drool on my screens please Charles!
