The Southwestern Cape Province of South Africa is bursting with spring life.
I have counted thirteen juvenile Bradypodion pumilum, no more than two days old, just in the bushes around my camp area.
Above, the photo of the juvenile Brodypodion pumilum female in my albums taken last year.
On returning to Cape Town, I have taken the photo below after one year.
She never left her creeper.
Quite remarkable growth!
Taken by a friend a few days ago in Namibia.
Apologies for the quality of this puny little thumbnail.
I am hoping to get some original high resolution shots of Namibian chameleons soon.
There still seems to be large areas in South Africa with suitable habitat but no sign of chameleons.
My search in the Stilbaai area of the Southern Cape continues...
Watermark or not?
I've just found two of my photos for sale on the internet.
I can think of no other alternative than to watermark my pics as from now. :(
Please PM me if you ever need a copy of the original for own use.
The big guy pays a visit!
Bradypodion pumilum (Cape Dwarf chameleon) Adult male.
The unpleasant day in the wind paid off in the end :D
A very healthy specimen that I did not disturb.
In fact he's not even looking at the camera!
