The PNSO "Kesia the Jackson's Chameleon" showcases the chameleon's characteristic horn on its head. The texture of the skin is intricately detailed, and the coloration is true to life, with vibrant green hues fading to yellowish tones, mirroring the chameleon's natural appearance. In a goofy looking walking pose, but oveall a good model.
PNSO Kesia the Jackson's Chameleon measures approx 3.8" L x 1.6" H.
Jackson's chameleons are native to the montane forests of East Africa, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania. They are known for their vivid coloration, which can range from bright emerald green to yellowish hues, and the presence of three prominent horns on their heads, a feature more pronounced in males. These horns are used in social displays and combat with other males. Jackson's chameleons have been introduced to other regions, such as Hawaii, where they have established feral populations.
In terms of behavior, Jackson's chameleons are arboreal, spending most of their time in trees. They are known for their slow, deliberate movements and their ability to change color, a trait used for communication and temperature regulation rather than camouflage. Their diet primarily consists of insects, which they capture with their long, sticky tongues. Reproduction in Jackson's chameleons is viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs.
