  2. Awesome composition! How did you come to the conclusion on the ID? I'm not challenging it, I just like to learn. Posted 11 years ago
    1. I'm afraid I had to get an expert opinion, there are many dwarf chameleons in South Africa but none seemed to come from my area, in the end it came down to the knobbly bit at the back of its head (technical term!) and the beard. The guy was pretty adamant that this is what it is, and so that was good enough for me! Posted 11 years ago
