Flap Neck Chameleon [Chamaeleo dilepis]\n
The Flap Necked Chameleon is a large chameleon that has a Small flap extending from the back of its head. It has a crest that extends along its back and underside, from head to tail, that consists of tiny, white triangular spines. The main colour of the Flap Necked Chameleon is a lime green colour that varies through different shades of green. It has a white belly with pale bars on its side.<\/p>\n
The Flap Necked Chameleon is an insectivore whose diet consists mainly of grasshoppers and beetles. It feeds by projecting its tongue towards a prey item. The tip of the tongue is sticky that allows it to stick to its prey. A chameleon\u2019s tongue stretches twice the length of the body when projected.<\/p>\n
These Chameleons can be found in the tropical regions of Africa, south towards KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, North and Eastern Botswana, all the way to the Northern Cape and North Namibia. They are often found crossing the road and on branches of green trees.<\/p>\n
The female will lay anywhere from 25 \u2013 50 eggs in the summer months. Chameleons take very long to develop as the eggs take little over a year to hatch, at 377 days when in the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
