Chameleons!!

[StuartH]

Had to do a photoshoot for a guy who owns a reptile shop today and thought I would share a few of the pics with you..
These guys are as bright as the pics if not brighter in the flesh!

Great shots and amazingly colourful reptiles Stuart

 

[StuartH]

Thanks mate..quite different to when they are babies..heres another species on a matchstick for size comparison..

 

[Graham H]

I Like The Match Stick's #[only Joking Great Shot's}

Cool stuff Stuart!
I can never look at Chameleons, anymore without "seeing" the old "Therwell" cartoon, entiltled "be kind to your pet" and a poor Chameleon on a tartan rug, straining......... it always makes me smile

 

[StuartH]

lol..thanks both..well I'm pretty pleased with the pics I got today and hopefully so will the owner of the shop..

...well I'm pretty pleased with the pics I got today and hopefully so will the owner of the shop..

So you should be and so will he be, I'm sure

 

[StuartH]

Thanks mate.

I'm sure the shop owner will be very pleased with those Stuart....they're superb.
I was looking into buying a Cham last year (Veiled) , but decided against it in the end cos I read they're quite difficult to look after and seemed to suffer from quite a few probs if the environment wasn't just right (air circulation / humidity).
Still love looking at them in the pet shop though - fascinating animals.

Lovely shots. Thanks for posting them

Very colourful critters - and those tiny ones are just adorable! Lovely sharp shots, and I bet the guy from the reptile shop was happy with them.

Can't look at a chameleon now without thinking Budweiser

 

[StuartH]

Cheers both..they are great reptiles to keepbut as you say conditions have to be very precise for them to thirive and live a stress free life..The yemen chams can be very aggressive but are probably one of the hardier species whereas the panthers are a bit more delicate.
Bud--weis---errrrrrr

Simply stunning shots Stuart ... ... the owner has got to be well pleased with that out-turn ...


And superb reps too ...

They are gorgeous. I used to have a panther female. She came in and promptly had 15 babies or so and ate about 5 of them before I realised what had happened!

Anyway those are stunning pics!

 

[StuartH]

Thanks both..never heard of cannabilism with them though!!

 

[fraggle101]

Wow.. Was it stuck on a demo mode!! or just couldnt make its mind up what colour to be!! lol..

Fantastic pictures though!! super sharp..

 

[StuartH]

Ta mate..

 

[mobilevirgin]

These are amazing - the last one on the matchstick is, I think the best, just because its so unusual and there's no sign of the hand that's a bit distracting in the others.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with the others - super sharp.

Great set.

 

[StuartH]

Cheers mate I appreciate the input..heres a few without "hands"..

 

[mobilevirgin]

yup - I think sticks work better than hands

 

[h.r.ford]

Thanks both..never heard of cannabilism with them though!!

ME EITHER!! I always wondered if it had anything to do with the stress of shipping... who knows I've never had another pregnant (gravid?) one so I'll never know.

 

[StuartH]

yup - I think sticks work better than hands

Cheers mate..
I'll have to ask some of the cham keepers on our forum if they have ever come across that..

 

[Cobra]

yup - I think sticks work better than hands

I have to concur. Also a great 2nd set. it has the edge for me

 

[StuartH]

Thanks mate..only left the fingers visible just to show how tiny they are against a hand.

 

[Baggs]

Great, sharp, colourfull photos of a fascinating subject. Its a shame that such colourfull creatures have to always look like they're sad and grumpy.:shake:

 

[StuartH]

trust me these are far from sad..lol
