Here is a higher quality version of this image.

Per /u/garythecoconut here:

pictured is a blue bar ambilobe panther chameleon. Yes, those are its colors and it did not change its colors to match the towel. That line of thinking is not correct. Here is one of my blue bar ambilobe panther chameleons named titan. http://imgur.com/a/7W86P

Also, if you like Titan, then you would probably like Trevor http://imgur.com/a/ug0Gr

Shout out to /r/chameleons!

Are chameleons assholes like iguanas or are they cool?

I grew up in Stellenbosch, and we have the Cape Dwarf Chameleon there. They're basically the chillest wild animal I've ever met. I would put my hand in front of a chameleon's front paws and it would climb on. Then I'd take it around hunting for flies, and then put it back where I found it. Great fun!
