The Indian kangaroo lizard is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to southern India. From snout to vent O. beddomii is about 4.4 cm long with a tail of about 7.6 cm. The preferred habitat of O. beddomii
is moist leaf litter on the forest floor of both evergreen and
deciduous forests, but it may also climb onto low tree trunks and
shrubs. The common name, Indian kangaroo lizard, is derived from the lizard’s
habit of running on its hind legs with the body held upright.
I was working upstairs when I hear one of our baby leopard geckos start screaming. Normally they only scream when threatened, but this particular guy screams at almost everything. Turns out there was a small fly in his cage that was bothering him.
Jackson’s chameleon is a species of chameleon native to East Africa, but also introduced to Hawaii, Florida, and California. Jackson’s chameleons are native to woodlands and forests at altitudes of 1,600 to 2,440 m in south-central Kenya and northern Tanzania. Jackson’s chameleons live primarily on a diet of small insects. They also prey on centipedes, isopods, millipedes, spiders, lizards, small birds, and snails in their native habitat.Most chameleons are oviparous,
but Jackson’s chameleon gives birth to live offspring; eight to thirty
live young are born after a five- to six-month gestation.
