Panther Chameleons have become the foundation of the growth of our chameleon community.  This is the inaugural episode of the new iPardalis Podcast produced by Jonathan Hill. He introduces us to the issues and discussions surrounding the panther chameleon community.

The Chameleon Academy is now a network . I have the pleasure of introducing to you iPardalis Podcast!

The iPardalis Podcast looks at the various issues facing the panther chameleon community. Host, Jonathan Hill, of iPardalis, explores genetics, natural history, ethics, and the basics of breeding panther chameleons. Through this podcast you will meet a number of community members that further the important conversations we need to have.

One species that gets a constant love is the Mossy Leaf-tailed Gecko, Uroplatus sikorae from Madagascar. This is one of the extreme bark mimics and the camouflage is freakishly good! Not only is the coloration perfect, but the frill around their lower jaw serves to ear the typical animal shape and make the gecko appear to meld onto the branch. Yes, definitely a unique lizard that checks the boxes to be adored by people attracted to chameleons!

Today I talk with Dave Bagshaw about the Mossy Leaf-Tail Gecko!
