Loooove chameleons, that black color can only mean 2 things, he is pissed off/ stressed or stood under the sun for too long :) Cool pic
SandraH
yes he is not impressed! :) How is your chameleon fairing in captivity? Do you have trouble feeding him?
Palaimon
He looks very angry!!! Exactly like the one in my terrarium :-) Nice shot

Thanks HemantKumar and SatyenMehta!

hahaha. Thanks! Well, it is not easy to get a shot of the green. unless you want me to take photos of the leaves of the tree where s/he is hiding. I have twisted my neck looking for it :)))) I will keep trying to get it to pose :)
