Chameleons from Kruger National Park, south Africa

[DulciGT]

Hello ;

You were so wonderful for ugandan chameleons that my boyfrien ask for one he saw in august in South Africa in the center of Kruger National park

Thanks for advance

Beautiful chameleon! I have no idea what species it is.

That looks to be a healthy Chamaeleo dilepis. I could not say what subspecies that is right now. I have not got my IDing material with me.

Agreed, looks like C. Dilepis. That is a very unusual coloration.

The color is amazing and definitely different than anything I've seen.

Hi Jeremy @Motherlode Chameleon
Have you find back your IDing books? Could you tell us what subspecies it is and what I have to look for to identify that.
Thanks a lot

I looked at my Collin Tilbury Atlas of Chameleons of Africa last night. Occasionally for listed subspecies in Collin Tilbury they list the geographic locations where the subspecies can be found. However that piece of literature did not list what sub species of Chamaeleo dilepis is native to Kruger National Park South Africa. I am going to keep looking and shall post when I locate an answer. I actually think it is the nominate subspecies from past readings.

I contacted one of my scholars and as I expected the sub species of Chamaeleo dilepis that lives in Kruger National Park is Chamaeleo dilepis dilepis.
