I am curious to hear what people have to say about this. I have seen so many Nosy Mitsios with very thick ridges and Ambanja with extended snouts.

I was looking at adcham and this is what I took and pasted here:

"Adult males, in addition to being significantly larger have a more defined helmet (casque). Head ornamentation consists of a prominent dorsolateral ridge extending on each side from the occipital region forward over the eye, along the dorsolateral border of the snout to the tip of the snout or slightly beyond. This extends into a small shovel-like rostral projection. The rostral projection has slight variations between locals. The ridge is less prominent in all females."



I have spoken to Chris Carter about this before, and wanted to hear others views and opinions on this information. I think it is really interesting.

Does this happen with any other species of chameleon?
