Hi folks!
I live in the Western Cape area of South Africa and have enjoyed the reptiles and other wildlife here since childhood.
Snakes, tortoises and chameleons have always been my passion.
Although I have no need to keep chameleons in captivity, I have learned a lot about their needs over the years and would be glad to share with anyone interested.
I will, in due course, post some pics of the Bradypodion sp. in situ.
I look forward to meeting members interested in the natural habitat of chameleons.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum!

Do you have chameleons in your back yard then?? If so, lucky you!

 

[danibug23]

Welcome I would love to see pics of down there and all your wild life and that would be cool to walk outside and see chameleons everywhere!!! But you will meet a bunch of great people on the forum!

Hi!

I have a hedge around the room I am sitting in, containing many wild chameleons.

 

[danibug23]

Wow that's pretty awesome!!! You probably don't think so because you see it everyday haha

 

[Bradypod]

The magic never disappears!
These creatures will always thrill me.

Locating and observing the different species in my area will be a lifelong privilege and joy!

 

[danibug23]

I will dig out what I've got and post.
Unfortunately I do not have a closeup lens at the moment.

Welcome to the forums! I am very Interested in your observations and photos

 

[Bradypod]

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Sang, the gecko we have here is Afrogecko porphyreus.
Commonly called the Marbled Leaftoed Gecko.
Homopholis fasciata is from East Africa.... a long way away!
Our little chap is numerous where I live. They hang around the lights at night, indoors and out, feeding on the insects that are attracted.
You'll find a fine pic of one here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Afrogecko_porphyreus_MarbledLeaftoedGecko_Cape_Town_4.jpg
Can't wait to get the old Olympus back into action again!
Best regards to all!!
