calyptratus Veiled Chameleon Perhaps now the most commonly bred chameleon in the UK, Males grow an impressively large casque on their heads, females can lay large numbers of eggs. |

Chamaeleo
fuelleborni Flap-jack Chameleon A three horned chameleon with flaps of skin to the back of the head, from East Africa, can be a fragile species in captivity. |
 |
|
|
|
Chamaeleo montium Cameroon Mountain Chameleon A shy two horned chameleon with a sail at
the base of the tail, requires cool humid environment, tends to be
delicate contributing to it being rarely bred in captivity. |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
Chamaeleo
pardalis Panther Chameleon The male panther chameleon is probably the best choice for anyone considering a captive chameleon, it is a more robust and less stressing species tolerating some human contact. |
 |
 |
|
|
| Chamaeleo
wiedersheimi WIEDERSHEIM'S CHAMELEON A Similar chameleon to the montium, with no horns, this chameleon is very rarely kept in captivity. |
 |
 |
|
|
|
 |
Varanus
exanthematicus Savannah Monitor Can become tame but caution as adults can give severe bites. Adults require a lot of room, cleaning and respect. |
|
|
| Rhacodactylus
ciliatus Crested Gecko Easy to keep gecko which is
attractive and non-aggressive. |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
Ptychozoon
kuhli Flying Gecko Attractively marked gecko, excellent camouflage on tree bark, flaps of skin along the sides of the body these act as sails to aid the gecko in gliding from branch to branch. |
 |
|
|
|
| Snakes | |
 |
Python
curtus brietensteini Borneo blood python Attractive short stocky snake one of my favourites, they require hot humid conditions, at which point they can be very aggressive. |
|
|
| Boa Constrictor
Not the largest snake by far, but their size as adults is widely underestimated by many wannabe keepers.
|
 |
|
|
 |
Morlelia
spilota Carpet Python A good choice for anyone who wants a so called "big snake", Some tame down well, and obtain a slender size which isn't life threatening. |
|
|
| Corallus
cookii Cooks Tree Boa Don't tend to be over friendly, and yes they can give a painful bite, they have long teeth for catching birds and penetrating feathers. High humidity arboreal species. |
 |
 |
|
|
|
| Langaha
madagascariensis Madagascar leaf-nose snake An fascinating looking snake, with the males having a long thin appendage to the nose where the females have a more feathered or leaf shape appendage. These are very rarely bred in captivity, and prefer a diet of small lizards. |
