Reptile & Amphibian Forums

It has been two years since I had seen this specie of Chameleon. I was at a reptile show and they had a tank full of them. They were dark brown, 3 inches from snout to vent, and the interesting thing about them was that they had very thorny heads. The thorns or spikes rather were very blunt but covered the whole head. If you know the name of them please reply.
Thanks,
Severa

Severa,

go to the link below and look at the profiles for the Armored Leaf Chameleon and the Horned Leaf Chameleon. At the end of each profile there are photos. if neither of these are it poke around the other Brookesia profiles and then the Rhampholeon.

0.2 house geckos - (still no names)

This is a picture from our Chameleons book, published by Barron's. This is a Brookesia peramata.

I would say that the body type is close! But the head had around maybe 10-15 spikes.

Perarmata really sounds like what you saw. No other cham species has that many spikes (and the number varies from animal to animal). Also, there are not that many species that small.
