Hello again,

during two days 17and 18 of November we observed seven adults and four juveniles. That is quite a lot, however light conditions went wrong for taking photos because it was too sunny so excuse lower quality pls

Wow, what amazing creatures. I would absolutely love to see some in the wild someday. Thank you so much for sharing!

Beautiful! I can see how the myth started that chameleons change color to match their environment. Each of these chameleons colors almost perfectly match their setting.
 
Scratches, scars, nips, fractures... Living outside is a whole day battle.

I have no idea😑 This is photo of adult male taken last thursday. The animals look the same to me 😀View attachment 360177
Beautiful one!

I never knew for sure where mine came from…when I first bought them, I wasn’t even sure what species they were. It would be interesting if there was some way people could tell what area they were from if there are slight differences between the ones from the different areas.
