    Males are just as colorful as many of the chameleons:




    And their personalities are hilarious. This guy is fresh out of the bag:

    I don't know whether to or to !!

    What an astonishing looking creature! Looks like a chimera of at least four or five different reptile species! Craaaazy!

    Achmed would be a perfect name for him, too! LOVE that face!!!

    I've seen these at shows! They look so unreal!!! Incredible in person. I would love one, but I definitely want to do a bit more research into their care first.

    Re: The next step for chameleon keepers - Gonocephalus chamaeleontinus

    How convenient to revive this thread, at a time where I am looking into seriously acquiring one of these fellows

    They aren't for the novice herpkeeper though, I can tell you that much. I don't know about anybody else but here on the East Coast finding one for sale requires some serious power-Googling skills.
