Stunning pics! As much natural sunlight as the weather allows is the best single thing you can give to a captive chameleon.

Kinyonga, I spent six months in London, Ontario many years back. We lived next to the Thames River and I never in my life, to this day, saw so many snakes in one place! I now read that some species are threatened there. From abundance to threatened.... not cool but happening wherever man makes...

Thanks all for your comments :) Yes Motherlode Chameleon, the protective legislation is strict here but unfortunately this is not protecting the town-dwelling chams. Garden walls also restrict their movements, causing problems with the gene pool. On the bright side, the rural and mountainous...

The funny thing with these chameleons is that as tough as they seem in the wild, they usually do not do well indoors. With all the added predators that they have to deal with (mainly cats), they are becoming more scarce. I can see the time coming where outdoor protective enclosures will be...

Nice pics!

Although I have occasionally found them out in the bad weather, I am sure that they penetrate dense bush and become dormant until they warm up again. Average temps here range from about 15%C to 30%C. Our climate is described as "Mediterranean" but the fierce winds are something to experience...

Young adult female Cape Dwarf. This is what one gets with a lousy "happy snapper" type camera :mad: SLR ready soon. The weather here in the Western Province of South Africa has been cold, windy and wet. Nothing disappears as effectively and completely as a Cape Dwarf in adverse conditions! This...

My mom told me that if I play with my Anole, I'll go blind!:D

I have repeatedly been warned about salmonella; yet I have been handling reptiles here in South Africa for many years and have never had the slightest problem. (no washing of hands)

My family My little family of Bradypodion pumilum (Cape Dwarf Chameleon)... lives here.

Hi Kinyonga, we have quite a few species of amazing lizards here. I have not kept pictures of them, but having joined this forum, I will take and post pics as I get them. I will also post a list of all the lizard species in my area.

Went out to take more pics today but the little ones were high in the trees. Might get a few good shots in the afternoon.

This stunning example of the Knysna Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion damaranum) in situ. Found in a friend's garden in Knysna, South Africa.

Thank you Laurie. It will be my pleasure!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Sang, the gecko we have here is Afrogecko porphyreus. Commonly called the Marbled Leaftoed Gecko. Homopholis fasciata is from East Africa.... a long way away! Our little chap is numerous where I live. They hang around the lights at night, indoors and out...

I will dig out what I've got and post. Unfortunately I do not have a closeup lens at the moment.

Locating and observing the different species in my area will be a lifelong privilege and joy!

The magic never disappears! These creatures will always thrill me.

Hi! I have a hedge around the room I am sitting in, containing many wild chameleons.

Hi folks! I live in the Western Cape area of South Africa and have enjoyed the reptiles and other wildlife here since childhood. Snakes, tortoises and chameleons have always been my passion. Although I have no need to keep chameleons in captivity, I have learned a lot about their needs over...
