Hmmm......I'm not very good at guessing chams. Is it a type of Bradypodion?

 

[Chris Anderson]

Nope, not a Bradypodion species either. Its a Malagasy species that was just described this year.

It is a species of Furcifer and it was described this year. Any guesses?

Wow, it's been awhile! Is it Furcifer pardalis?

Furcifer pardalis was described in 1829...As I said, this species was described this year.

The TIGR Reptile Database is very helpful (http://www.reptile-database.org/). It is only updated once or twice a year, however. In this case, you could have compared their species list to a more current list of the chameleon species such as the one on one of my sites (http://www.chameleoninfo.com/Species_Profiles.html).
