Gonocephalus Chamaeleontinus

Hello,
Here is another passion of mine.
Gonocephalus Chamaeleontinus are chameleon anglehead lizards.
With this species I have succeeded in 2006 as one of the first breeders to breed this species in captivity.

Gorgeous! They almost look like some kind of strange cross between a Chameleon and an Iguana... Very neat looking. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the breeding success!

Thank you :wink:
The animals offered are always wild caught and are under the stress, they are dark and not so attractive.
These animals are not for beginners, but if you can give proper care the animals will show their beautiful colors.
Nice to see, the reference to chamaleon in the name is because they also have the ability to change color and the lifestyle is very close to chameleons.
My intent was to breed these animals and in that way to reduce the wildcath.
But I must say that there was little interest.
