  • Panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis)<br />
Tamatave, Eastern rainforst of MADAGASCAR<br />
This is a medium to large species growning up to 520mm. It is a true chameleon as it possesses a prehensile tail. This plus its opposable, fuxed fingers help it adapt to its arboreal life. Pardalus lacks occipital lobes and without real nasal appendages but has a conspicuous protruding rostral border. It is renowned for the high number of regional color morphs and dramatic color changes. Most dramatic color changes observed in courting males. Oviparous - female laying 12-46 eggs, buried in the ground. Young hatch after 159 - 384 days and measure +-55mm.<br />
RANGE: Locally abundant in forests found in the north and north east of Madagascar but also in open habitats  as they are able to inhabit degraded secondary forest areas.<br />
Two species of Panther chameleon are also found in the Comores and one in Reunion Island.<br />
Chameleons are well-known for their special adaptions: Ability to change color rapidly to either match their surroundings or to reflect their mood. They have the capacity to move their turreted eyes independently of each other which allows them to look in different directions simultaneously. They also capture their prey with the rapid firing of their tongue which can extend to approximately half of their body length and is ended with a kind of gluing hammer.<br />
Furcifer pardalis is CITES 11 classification and is allowed the CITES Animal Committee to be exported from Madagascar - mainly for the pet trade.<br />
There are more than 150 species world wide and over half of those are only found in Madagascar. All species on the island are Native.

  • Jewel chameleon FEMALE (Furcifer lateralis) commonly encountered across the island except in NW MADAGASCAR. Usually found in open scrubby lowlands, gardens and degraded habitats and within humid or dry areas. It is also found in and around the capital of Antananarivo.<br />
A small chameleon that may reach a length of 22cm. Coloration varies from uniformly green to a beautiful mix of green, blue, yellow and red. Three dark circles and a longitudinal white line along hte flanks are visible in most individuals. Dark stripes radiate out from the eyes and males and females are similar.<br />

They capture their prey with the rapid firing of their tongue which can extend to approximately half of their body length and is ended with a kind of gluing hammer. All species found in Madagascar lay eggs (Oviparous) and do not give parental care. The calumma and furcifer group are known as true chameleons as they have a prehensile tails. They tend to be solitary except during the breeding season. <br />

  • Day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) Ankarana Special Reserve. NW MADAGASCAR. These are among the largest of the spelsuma species on the island and can reach a lenth of 300mm. They are common in coastal areas of northern Madagascar.<br />
Phelsumas are among the most prominent reptiles in Madagascar. They are also found on other Indian Ocean Islands. They are medium-sized to large arboreal diurnal geckos with round pupils. Species from humid regions tend to be brighter green, often with red marking while species from drier regions are often grey or brown. It is thought that their very conspicuous colour patterns could function as a premating isolation mechanism which helps to prevent interbreeding of different color morphs and therefore reinforce speciation events. In contrast to most other animal groups, Phelsuma seem to benefit from deforestation and are more abundant in cultivated areas than in natural habitas. However there are a few that are only found on edges of primary forest and they are seriously threatened by habitat destruction. All the phelsumas in Madagascar glue their eggs to a substate like bark. Usually 2 eggs per clutch. Several species like Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis defend their clutches.<br />
Threats: THEY ARE HEAVILY COLLECTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PET TRADE.
