Always tough to show their size when photographing them using macro lenses, I have most of the species I have found on my hand/finger so that helps. Thanks for looking!

Now it's been a good few years since I've made the journey some 180kms from where I stay to find and photograph these small forest dwelling chameleons. So I ventured out and find and photographed a few Bradypodion caeruleogula - uMlalazi Dwarf Chameleon. Junveile Bradypodion caeruleogula -...

Cheers glad you enjoyed.
