Karma Chameleon

No, I am not going to sing the song. Lucky for you! Now that would be a YouTube performance to miss, definitely!

The Chameleon in question is a little friend that Graham made in Cyprus. He is so cute, that I have to show you some photos!

lol, those are awesome photos! I don't think I've ever seen chameleons outside of a zoo...

Johanna said...

oh v cute but shouldn't it turn the same colour as graham's skin to camouflague (or I am just stuck in some chameleon fantasy that has nothing to do with reality?)

I am with Mike and never seen a chameleon. They are really quite cute in a reptile kind of way. Great photos too by the way...love the eyes:D

Hi Mike,I missed it, but the photos are great, aren't they?

Hi Johanna, Graham said it changed colour a lot. When it was outside it was lime green, then in the house it turned dark green and then brown. Finally when it went back out it turned light green and then white.

Hey Val, I agree, it is very cute. It was very timid and walked very slow, like it was dipping it's toes in water to test the temperature and that was every step!

Okay, now I *want* one of those.
Oddly, I haven't seen a pet store in the UK. You guys have those here, right? Not that a chameleon would be happy in the UK, but...

I have to chuckle. G. looks rather bare in those photos. We had temps in the 40's in the U.S., too -- it's very energy draining and we're glad to get back to fog and cardigans!

Cute in a photo, but I think you'd hear me shrieking all the way to Cyprus if I ever encountered one in person!!

DaviMack said...

Wonderful! Aren't they fabulous little guys?

Holler said...

Hi tadmack, I think they may be illegal to buy now in the UK. It is a bit cruel to keep them as a pet, really. But they are so, so cute.

I am ready for some cooler air when I get home, but not the rain!

Aww Ricki, you are a wuss! They are gentle creatures.

Hi Davimack, I think graham fell in love with this wee guy!

Much cuteness!

You wouldn't want to hear me sing either. Although my duet with VeggieKate of 'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush is quite special. 'Heeeeeathcleeeeeef! It's meeeeeeee a Caattheeeee!'...

Great photos... but I'll have to pass. Chameleons and me - never in the same room!

Pia K said...

Adorable indeed! What an amazing encounter!

JennDZ - The Leftover Queen said...

He (or she) is just adorable! I just love those buggy eyes! What an honor it must have been to have this little guy walking on you (or Graham in this case).

Wheeler's Frozen Dessert said...

Cool! Chameleons are awesome.

Holler said...

He is, isn't he Parker!

Hi Helen, Graham said you could barely feel him moving across you.

Do you and Kate throw your hair about when you are singing Wuthering Heights, Jen? I want the full picture!

Why Spaghetti? He is just so lovely!

Cool huh, Pia?

Hey Jenn, The eyes are actually like little cones and move independently, which is odd!

Hey Wheeler, *wave*

I love those photos!! I used to have quite a few of these as pets when I lived in Kenya. They are super fun!

Holler said...

Hi Fiber, they are seriously cool creatures!
