There was some excitement this morning when a chameleon was found in the garden. I thought it was a bit exaggerated for such event but I was not right (again).
Stephen had spotted a rather fat chameleon that on close inspection revealed that it was gravid! So, as this is happening right now as I write, I post a few pics to show this great creature on its bush.
I am watching her every hour with the binocs to avoid disturbing her but to follow her “progress”.
“Spot the chameleon”. The Masau (Ziziphus mauritiana) bush where the female was found.
Here it is:
There she is hanging on!
A few more pictures to show you her condition:
From above to show her enlarged body. A true egg sac!!!
The eggs can be seen protruding in the ventral area.
A sideways picture that shows the mass of eggs better.
Despite her condition, her eyes still keep track of you!
As I think it is quite close to laying time and I hope to see her digging her nest, I am checking on her hourly hoping that it will happen soon and before nightfall!
I will keep you posted on developments…
