Because they run fast and they breed too quickly. From wildlife Geckos are a real nuisance. I know, I know,…
I read somewhere, sometime, a very very long time ago, that when a chameleon turns deep red like this, they’re…
I spot one of my garden chameleons on the jambu tree, where he normally perches. … Honestly, my first thought was “hmm, he’s getting lunch”, even though I didn’t think lizards ate other lizards. … Then, a second or two later – cuz, yes, they really were that fast – separated, although that took a couple of seconds, too.
I’ve had a LOT of chameleon visitors lately. … A hint that I need to keep taking photos of them until I get it right? Did they lay eggs somewhere in our garden?
A month and a half back, Fahim and I were returning home when we saw this truck. … Cuz I really don’t think we’re in an alternate universe right now, you know? As it turns out, we got our answer when the car we were in passed the truck.
No doubt there are many in the neighborhood, especially with the empty lot next door that seems especially inviting to a lot of the local critters. … Now if only he’d pose a little closer to me and my camera… … Do you like it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it?
While the neighborhood chameleons don’t visit every day, or even every week, they visit often enough that, despite how shy they are about being seen by me, I occasionally manage to photograph them. What do you think of the photo? Do you like it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it?
For a while there, my mother in law wondered if we had rats rooting around in the garden digging holes up against the house. … Finally, I clued in one day when, for the like fifth day in a row I caught the lizard digging around in the garden where the holes at the side of the house are. … And, unfortunately, he runs the second he hears me, which means I’m really good at getting photos of him from behind, but not so good at getting photos from the front.
Chameleons are more frequent visitors to our yard than I would have expected. I didn’t see any for the longest time, but more recently, I’ve been seeing them a lot more frequently. … Do you like it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it?
