These pictures are beautiful. Years ago when I lived in Florida, we used to go to reptile pet shops in the Fort Myers, and some up around Bartow. I always liked the lizards, but the chameleons were special, because of their abilities in changing color, as well as, that long fast tongue and the way their eyes roll around seeming to watch your every move. The shops were always buzzing with customers and the noise level was high due to all those crickets chirping. I enjoyed the shops that had nice glass enclosers for the chameleons, for the ones that used wire allowed adults and children, to poke their fingers in, as well as, other objects just to tease them. But the thing that really stood out to me about the chameleons besides their cute feet, was the air of intelligence in the art-like poses on perches and branches, and their calm collected manner of looking around and knowing they are gorgeous.
