A close look at a shedding chameleon

Uploaded: August 11, 2018

Description

I was fortunate to get real close (for the first time) to a shedding chameleon during a visit to the Kula Botanical Garden in Maui (Hawaii). I later learned that a growing chameleon will shed on a regular basis. Some adolescents will shed as frequently as every two or three weeks, with the rate generally slowing as adulthood is reached. At full maturity, a chameleon may shed once a month or less. Studies also show that light, temperature and mood cause chameleons to change color. Photo taken with Olympus TG-5 Tough compact camera.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
