Hi,
I took this photo on a chameleon farm on Madagascar in march 2010 - and has until now labeled it as a B.superciliars. But after taking a look in Glaw & Vences, Amphibians and reptiles on Madagacar - I think it may be B.therezieni ?
Any thoughts ?

Absolutely not...
Then how about this one ?
Marty : add me on Facebook ( I reckon everyone has an account :) ), and we can have a chat about it there ? Don't see any reason to bother the others with these things in a pic-thread ?
None of the chameleons we encountered on Madagascar seemed to bothered with us being close to them, and photographing them.
That said, I'm using a 150mm lens, so that I don't have to be very close to them to get "up-close" shots. Portraits I guess is taken at about 50cm, and shots of whole...
Furcifer pardalis
Same specimen as the other red one in this thread.
I should point out, that this specimen is photographed in a breeding park for chameleons (and some other reptiles)
No doubt, we had a great trip !
We went from -10 degress Celsius and snow - so the difference was rather big in weather. But, not so bad in southern and middle Madagascar were it was around 22-28C - Nosy Be was quite another story, with around 40C
On the first, I must say that I do not know..
And about macro lens : what is affordable ? The two lenses that always comes to mind is the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro and the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro.
But, I would prefer the Canon 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro before those
