A better representation of the color potential in Bradypodion pumilum

I had to mess with the colors a little to try and get the colors portrayed accurately, but this photo actually more closely resembles the colors of my males of Bradypodion pumilum.

Beautiful chameleon. Do you have pics of your others and enclosures?

How beautiful!

What is the common name of that chameleon?

So pretty

oh wow, he is SO cool!!!

Try a custom white balance (if your camera will allow) or shoot RAW and play with color temp in your editing software. It will make post processing much easier!

My post editing software is my iphone lol. A friend of mine recommended a program thats free called GIMP? I really need to get photoshop for these guys so I can get their colors exact, but this is the closest I have come so far.

Are these guys social at all or best left separate. They are certainly show stoppers! Thanks so much for sharing!

Man photoshop just keeps getting better and better.

The actually are very social and can be kept in groups without problems. Males are not aggressive at all with one another although I would not suggest keeping multiple males in the same enclosure just to play it safe and reduce any unnecessary stress.

Funny guy. This is almost exactly how the colors look in person.

Wow! He's gorgeous! Is he full grown yet?

So pretty. Where in So Cal are you located?

Claremont.

He looks quite amazing. So much color for such a tiny chameleon.

Hey, hes not tiny! Hes like the size of a carpet just a tad smaller and not as bulky.

Dont sugar coat it paul...I will help you with your first step in coming out of denial. Say it with me "My bradypodion pumilum male is T I N Y".

Haha you ass. Yes, they are "tiny" if you are used to keeping panthers, veileds, etc. Ok, they are small lol but not tiny. Seeing as how you can keep groups together in small cages, they give live birth, their colors are insane, and they cost wayy less to feed=bad ass chameleons IMO

He looks great I can actually tell that's it's not orange this time more of a pinkish lol

Very nice! Me want babies!
