A sad find

My neighbour called me yesterday and said I should please come over, there was a chameleon just hanging on one of her plants.

It did not seem to be in good shape, and was so thin and light as a feather. What amazed us, was the unusual colouring it had. It also had no visible wounds or scars.

I quickly took it down the road to eagle encounters at spier. They normally rescue everything.

I will go check this morning and find out how it is doing.

That is sad - it looks starved/dehydrated

[Kathy A]

Gorgeous colours but yes, it doesn't look very healthy

[Maggiemae]

Originally I thought this was a painting! Poor wee man - glad that there was somewhere that would look after it!

[Christina]

I hope they can find what's wrong with it! Great shot

[Annie D]

[Dawn]

[Renee Salamon]

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh, my! so sad to see him so thin and dehydrated - in spite of this -such beautiful markings and colour - hope the outcome will be good!

[Peter]

Amazing colours, detail and presentation Diana, hopefully you did the best for him:)

[winghong_ho]

He is so thin. Hope he is ok.

[Babs]

Oh dear, I hope it survives.

[Allison Maltese]

Poor thing does look exhausted and sick. I hope it makes it. I love their beautiful colors.

[Mags]

Poor thing! I hope it springs back.

[katy]

It is beautiful, but it does look emaciated! I hope it made it through the night. Perhaps it’s just old?

[Krista Marson]

It does look quite thin. Hope he makes it!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Poor thing. I hope he will be okay.

[Pam]

Oh my. It does appear to be very thin. I hope they can help it.

[Heather]

Such beautiful colours and a great shot, Diana! But how sad! I hope the people at eagle encounters can help. Fav

The colors are amazing. I hope the chameleon recovers.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Jane Pittenger]

Oh poor thing

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I hope they're able to nurse it back to health. I'm not a reptile-amphibian gal, but I don't like to see anything suffering! Good shot in spite of the circumstances.

[Rick]

Great shot. Does look a little on the down side. Maybe they can give it something that will help it.
