Nactus Award

[Sporkthedork]

I just got an e-mail from Exo-Terra about this Nactus Award that they do. I know a lof of you guys take great pictures and thought that you guys might be interested in it. The ultimate prize is an expedition to the Mayan ruins of Honduras. In the past, they've gone to Madagascar twice so hopefully they'll go there again in the future. Well just wanted to inform all you great photogs about this award.

Just take a cham outside, put him on a tree (well, not this month, maybe when it is warmer) and take pictures there. Instant-realism.

nice pictures!

I was looking at the pics from Uganda 2005 and they have some nice pictures of chams.

Are those three horned chams Jacksons? I have never seen jacksons with that color!


I also noticed that wild chameleons are WAY skinnier(fit) than the fat chams we have in captivity...

My bad. I didn't look closely- mostly I meant that I can recognize Royden's photography and saw two obvious ones.

They're Johnston's Chameleons, Chamaeleo (Trioceros) johnstoni. They are similar looking to Jackson's but one major difference is they are oviparous (lay eggs).
