Week #15 Chamaeleolis barbatus!





Chamaeleolis barbatus is the pick for reptile of the week.  Commonly known as the Cuban False Chameleon, this curious captive is actually a species of anole.  These lizards come from tropical forests, and are arboreal.  They are carniverous, but may opportunistically consume fruit matter as well.  Thanks to Steve Cemelli at www.leapinleachies.com for letting me photograph his collection once again.
