[Chamster]

What are the top 10 most beautiful chameleons in the world. Let's see what everyone think.

 

[Vampire.queen]

It's very difficult to pick up only 10, for they all are beautiful! But here it goes:

1 number one will always belong to my first fella- chamaeleo calyptratus Yoda
2 chamaeleo namaquensis
3 furcifer oustaleti
4 furcifer verrucosus
5 calumma parsonii
6 rampholeon brevicaudatus
7 chamaeleo melleri
8 furcifer lateralis
9 bradypodion damaranum
10 chamaeleo gracilis

 

[Texas Panther Man]

very hard to choose:

1. pardalis
2. lateralis
3. parsonni
4. jacksonii
5. mellers
6. calyptratus
7. Oustaleti
8. deremensis
9. br. spinosis
10. hoehnelli

 

[Chris Anderson]

In alphabetical order (couldn't rank them), I think these are 10 of the most beautiful species but there are a number I would also like to have put on the list:

Bradypodion damaranum
Bradypodion pumilum
Brookesia vadoni
Calumma p. parsonii
Furcifer minor
Kinyongia uthmoelleri
Rhampholeon spinosus
Trioceros laterispinis
Trioceros pfefferi
Trioceros w. wiedersheimi

Top 10 Most Beautiful Chameleon Species

This was a hard list to narrow down, but I came up with these Top 10.

1. Furcifer Pardalis
2. Trioceros Montium
3. Furcifer Campani
4. Furcifer Lateralis
5. Furcifer Minor
6. Calumma Boettgeri
7. Kinyongia Uthmoelleri
8. Furcifer Willsii
9. Calyptratus
10. Trioceros Deremensis

Pardalis was an easy number one for me, but the rest of list was tougher. I also wanted to say that I just joined this site, and I love it! This seemed like a pretty good first forum to post on.

Thanks,

CNorton I love how you put links to pictures of the species.

I think you have a thing for chameleons with big noses
