Last night, I went to check up on my pygmy chameleons, and my male was asleep up against the glass. I noticed a strange marking on his neck - looked like someone had written on him with a biro. It clearly said '13'. Stranger still, when I turned the light on, it faded away before my eyes. It seems his strange markings only appear at night!

I turned the light off, waited for it to reappear, and tried to take some pictures (which freehand in a very dark room is hard!) I could use flash as the glass reflected it. Mad
Was a lot darker and clearer, but the light made it fade again after a few pics. Dunno if you can make it out!




Twisted Evil Weird or what!

Spoooooooooooky Twisted Evil Oh...I've got all the stuff ready for some pygmies...exciting!!! How much do their patterns and pigments change? I know they're not notorious for colour variation, but sounds like there is some change in colour?

I've found their to be a lot of colour changes - okay they're not blues or reds, but personally I think a displaying male pygmy is underrated. Sometimes they surprise you. Wink Some species do have other colours too, (such as blues, purples and yellows)

I guess it is his lucky number! Laughing

Strangely enough, the baby I hatched is very pink with some bright orange spots Shocked
