Dear /an/. I just saw a chameleon's foot for the first time at a pet store the other day and was absolutely fascinated. Pictures always depict chameleons from the side, so I never got to see how weird their feet are. So. This thread is about Chameleons. Especially their feet.

Chameleons can also shoot their tongue out at insects. They can hang from trees using only their tails. They also have the ability to change color rapidly. Many people think that they do this to camouflage, but in fact, they change their skin color according to their feelings. Most chameleons are plain in color unless they are excited. That is when you will see their most brilliant colors. If a chameleon is too hot, it may take on a bleached color and this indicates it is suffering from heat stress. Chameleons have four different layers of skin

A chameleons eyes are shaped like turrets in order to see 180 degrees each eye. This is a useful survival tool, as they can be hunting for food, and looking behing them at the same time for predators. The chameleon's brain recieves two separate images and places them together as one.

Chameleons can shoot their tongue out more than two times the size of their body length. It is very sticky and is great for catching insects. It has a sticky tip, retracting muscles as well as accelerator muscles. Combined, these are a deadly weapon; at least for insects.

Chameleons have zygodactylous ( Y-shaped ) feet. One side of the foot has three toes, while the other has two. Many have a very powerful grip along with sharp nails.

Not only that, but it doesn't make much sense. Despite popular belief, Iguanas are not insect eaters. Iguanas eat plant matter.

I heard that mashing up a few mealworms into your iguana's herbage every now and then was good, however.

And chameleons, because of their feet, I guess, are susceptible to grout and infections of the toe-joints, usually because of vitamin deprivation.

Lesson learned; gutload and dust his bugs!
