kingdom

Meet our colorful and graceful slithery friends. These animals spend most of their time stationary waiting for prey and if you come at the perfect time, you might be able to watch how they eat.

Color Shifters

These species come in a range of colors, and many species have the ability to change color. Chameleons’ eyes are independently mobile, but in aiming at a prey item, they focus forward in coordination, affording the animal stereoscopic vision.
