Namaqua chameleons hatching

This is an amazing video of Namaqua chameleons hatching filmed by our very talented friends at Electric.com.na. It has been edited so you can see the whole process which can actually take one to two days as they go to sleep in the middle to gather the energy to continue wriggling out. The snake park was severely impacted by the lockdown. We are trying to raise money to keep the snake park open. Our bank details are: FNB Namibia, Branch 280472 , account number 62262063630. Thank so much for the kind donations in money or kind which we have already received. Every bit helps.
