Dear Hema, No flyiing chameleons here in my place in Alathur, Palakkad Dist, Kerala. Regarding the colour of the tail of the skink, I will have to go through the original files. I shall let you know later.

What a cool good-looking creature! I especially love the 1st shot - He looks like he's saying: "Go on then! Take the photo!"
