>>I was watching Animal Planet a few weeks back, and there was a desert chameleon that ate some sort of pygmy viper. The snake kept trying to bite the cham, but he didn't seem bothered at all. It was great. The cham was walking around with half a snake hanging out of its mouth, one of the coolest things i've seen in a while.

It was Chamaeleo namaquensis, the Namaqua Chameleon, eating what i believe was a Bitis peringueyi or Bitis schneideri. They are a really amazing chameleon. The techniques they use for thermoregulation and hunting are unreal. They are also known to eat scorpions.
