mucholderthen: Physiological Color Change by ~elizabethnixon Ever wonder how an Anole changes color? Here’s how! Done in adobe photoshop. ~40+ hours ANOLES [polychrotidae]Due to their ability to change color, anole lizards are frequently referred to as American chameleons.  Also, because they can run up walls, they are sometimes confused with geckos.  Not closely related to either of those groups, in fact, they are more closely related to iguanas.

defythemundane: Premature crested gecko baby from Gecko Haven. It weighed 0.8 grams upon hatching. Usually, freshly hatched crested geckos weigh between 1.5 and 2.5 grams. The bright orange coloration of this baby could be attributed to underdevelopment or a genetic mutation; melanin, the pigment that produces dark colors, is the last to develop when in the egg. Whispers in the crested gecko community abound that this may be a genetic mutation known as hypomelanism, a partial lack of melanin. Right now whether or not this baby will survive is unknown. It is very small and has yet to shed even its egg teeth off. Time will tell for its future… for updates, head on over to Gecko Haven’s Facebook.  Hope it makes it! They’re wicked looking!

reptilefacts: asthmaticprince: Rainbow Snake (Farancia erytrogramma) The Rainbow Snake is a rarely encountered denizen of the rivers and tributaries of the southeastern United States. It is closely related to the Mud Snake (Farancia abacura) and, like the mud snake, is a dietary specialist. However, where the mud snake preys on specific species of salamander, the rainbow snake feeds strictly on freshwater eels. This snake is usually encountered while it crosses roads on rainy nights.

reptilefacts: rhamphotheca: Lizard Thought To Be Extinct for 135 years, Rediscovered! by Vijay Singh MUMBAI: Indian scientists have rediscovered a rare lizard that British colonel RH Beddome had last spotted in the Eastern Ghats in 1877. “This elusive lizard, Geckoella jeyporensis, commonly named as Jeypore ground gecko, was believed to have become extinct since it was last seen in 1877. But in 2010-11, a PhD student of Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES), Ishan Agarwal, and his team spotted it again in Orissa,” Bombay Natural History Society senior scientist Varad Giri told TOI. Giri studied this rare find. “After properly studying its features and taxonomy, we were thrilled to learn that this is the same gecko which became ‘extinct’ 135 years ago. This rediscovery was recently published in the scientific journal of Hamadryad,” said Giri… (read more: Times of India)
