Hej Scott

'these are chameleons - not geckos

They are from eastern Africa and often comes in with import from mainly Tanzania.

I have had mine for a few weeks, but they should be captive breed, and was handed to me from a friend.

eeerrrrr.. i actually knew that.. kinda hard to mistake. my fingers sometimes move faster than my brain. i'm not sure that says about my brain. :lol: sorry bout that.

they look like a pygmy species i'd seen in the reptiles mag a month or so back about herps of madagascar.

Jan,

The chameleon in the photo appears to be female. They are easily sexed by their dorsal crests and tail thickness/lengths.

Look at how long and thick the tail on this male is:

i'm not a huge cham fan, but for some reason i think those are pretty cool. you keep them i assume Wild?

[WildEyeReptiles]

Yes, we do keep them. We keep a lot of different chameleons.

They are not as difficult as a true chameleon, however, they are not like a leopard gecko either. You can find a wealth of information here:
