Chamaeleo zeylanicus
Chameleons vary greatly in size and body structure, with maximum total length varying from 3.3 cm (1.3 in.) in Brookesia minima (one of the world's smallest reptiles) to 68.5 cm (27 in.) in the male Furcifer oustaleti.[3] Many have head or facial ornamentation, such as nasal protrusions, or horn-like projections in the case of Chamaeleo jacksonii, or large crests on top of their head, like Chamaeleo calyptratus. Many species are sexually dimorphic, and males are typically much more ornamented than the female chameleons. Chameleons are often sold at pet stores and are not rare to have as household pets.
This mother was shifting babies from one to another branch, an amazing experience for me.
What a pleasant series to stumble upon. Your pictures are stunning and I love your description. I love the photos of the mama chameleon helping her babies cross. That is incredible! :D
That it is just amazing and beautiful. I was not part of PN when you got SOTD but it was well deserved, I am just glad to have seen it now, thank you for sharing.
