Two spp for ID please. (The green one is quite small and may be a juv).

Thanks

This isn't a species I know much about, but juveniles don't seem to show that well developed white lateral stripe. Maybe a subadult female? They display their well known gorgeous colors when gravid.

Those would be Calumma malthe and Calumma gastrotaenia. Are you on Maromizaha?

These were all taken on Maromizaha in the Andasibe area

Calumma gastrotaenia

Calumma malthe
The Calumma malthe and Calumma gastrotaenia will be found inside the forest (as I can see by the background of your photos.)


This guy here was on the outskirts of the forest

Calumma brevicorne

James Cross @crosscutts just got pooped on by a Calumma brevicorne.

He was so proud!

Oh, better ID! Waffled back and forth between C. malthe and C. brevicorne. The slender snout on C. gastrotaenia fits much better.

Have you got any Parsonii complex chameleon pictures from this region?
