The infamous snapping the chameleon's neck" pic (I had to hold him somehow - he was in the sun, and he got EVIL in the sun.)
This pic was to show the regenerative abilities of chameleons. Not only had the destroyed skin healed (it was entirely gone in the area affected), but the pigment started to come back. When he was older, the skin had almost completely healed up over the scar tissue, color and all.
