I keep them outside in SoCal, so it gets hot, they are shy by nature usually staying in the weeds, today the outside temp is 102 with 40% humidity (high for this area this time of year). In the area I call Little Cameroon it is 82 (hotter than usual or than I like it) with 90% humidity and raining (sprinkler on a 12 foot ladder).

I caught this guy out getting what I can only think of as a Cameroonian Rain Tan, he of course turned and made a rapid nose dive for the weeds, but i had my phone and caught him.

**I usually put in a disclaimer about taking terrible picture and my lizards being camera shy, BUT...I think this is a great photo of a camera shy lizard, so no disclaimer.**

In the last picture he was turning and running for cover, today he decided to stand his ground.
