Anyway, I have a New story today. We were coming up from the pigs and, right there in my path, on the grey ramp, was a gorgeous neon green horned Jackson chameleon, approximately 7" long, walking very slowly towards a tree. Not camouflaged at all. Our dogs have the bad habit of capturing and "playing" with these creatures. They do not survive the game. The dogs were nowhere around, so I quickly called Pat to help rescue the lizard. As we put it near the tree, we saw the female, a brown speckled gal without horns. She was safely in the tree, blending in and crawling up with good speed. He, on the other hand, in addition to being slow, and a poor color changer, apparently wasn't too good at finding his mate either. Once he got on the tree, he chose to climb the branch opposite to the one she was on. Sheesh! So Pat moved him to the correct branch. After that, he's on his own! However, she did stumble on a stump when climbing out of the brush, throwing her back out. But it's ok, we saved the lizard! Of course, we didn't have our phones on us for photos, and when we got back with them we couldn't find them. Where are they when you want them to pose for a photo shoot?
Wonder who we can save tomorrow?
