I didn't realize Houston had a Chameleon. Although it has been a while since I've been there. Waco needs a chameleon!!

I'm kinda wanting to go again now.

It's a zoo!!

Some pics from the Houston Zoo today!

That's a nice Red Bar Ambanja.

So I was disappointed with the Cham display. They only had this one panther, unless they were housing others outside of the reptile/amphibian house... :/

They have others (several panthers and a few k. Multi), but they're off exhibit. They used to have a Parsons but they shipped him out to another zoo with a female hoping he might breed with her eventually.

 

[ataraxia]

Well atleast you got to see a awesome ambanja!

Yeah, he was pretty awesome. He came all the way up to the front to get his photo taken!

Which one is that? The green, banded guy?

Seriously, Clark?? That's soooo cool! Beautiful guy!!

Man, this pic does him absolutely no justice! He was GORGEOUS!!

 

[Kent67]

Clark??? Yeah, actually now that I think about it we sold them 2.2 so I'm not sure if that guy is one of the Gargamel brothers sired by Sidney or the captive-hatched bloodline. But, yeah, it's very cool to see him all grown up and on display!

"seriously, Clark" is taken from the Vacation movies. Cousin Eddie would always ask Clark if he was serious. Sorry, inside joke...

Awesome that you can sell offspring to a major zoo!

Ahhh, got it. BTW, that parsonii was from a confiscated shipment in 2001. You can read about it at chameleonnews.com.

He was gorgeous! I wanted to pack him up and bring him home!
