This was the 30th and final chameleon species seen on this trip. This might sound like a lot, but it is less than one-third of all chameleon species known from Madagascar (the count is 97 as I write this, but ask again tomorrow).
The light green one with a few pointy spines on its crest is a female. The dark green one with lots of pointy spines on its crest is a male.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.

What animals besides chameleons can be so beautiful and so silly-looking at the same time?
