Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I still think this should be the song of Reddit.. I mean.. it has Karma in it and all..

[–]yelron 0 points1 point ago

Don't you mean.... Karmaleons?!?

[–]tots_o_tater 5 points6 points ago

He looks self-conscious.

[–]MadAdder163 1 point2 points ago

Nah, he's just practicing his Me Gusta face.

Furcifer Pardalis - Panther Chameleon

There are several colour morphs from different regions of Madagascar.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Ledzee 1 point2 points ago

Did you take them?

If so, where was the 15th pic taken? If it is in a cage, then seeing 3 Uroplatus (sikorae?) is not that surprising, but if it is in the wild, then I would be surprised, as I was unaware that they share their territories so closely.

EDIT: looks like they are in one of these: http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/flexarium.php - from the background

[–]happytrees 1 point2 points ago

Are those lemurs? They're ridiculous!

[–]Dyrty -1 points0 points ago

Where'd you take the 6th picture? I saw one of those in the wild once and since it didn't look as surprised so I was guessing the zoo? Beautiful photo's nonetheless!

[–]prof3ta_ 0 points1 point ago

ctrl + f Panther. I knew a guy who bred them and I owned a velied cham myself. Panthers can be nasty fuckers, they will bit and it will hurt. But definitely the prettiest of the chams,

[–]Ledzee 0 points1 point ago*

They definitely do have an aggressive temperament (I know from experience working on some research in NW Madagascar) but I wouldn't say they are alone at the top of the list of pretty chameleons.

Personally, I think Veiled Chameleons are equally beautiful, if not more breathtaking (in the case of some particularly striking, big males).

I think that the small Carpet/Jeweled Chameleons (Furcifer lateralis) and Cape Dwarf Chameleons (Bradypodion pumilum 1 2) are right up there too.

[–]Hugh_Man 1 point2 points ago

A true gem of nature

[–]discreet1 1 point2 points ago

That's not a chameleon, it's a flower!

[–]CARVERitUP 1 point2 points ago

If that thing was weed...he'd be some top notch fuckin weed.

[–]mnfriesen 0 points1 point ago

I seen this picture and had to make sure it wasnt a cannabis flower.

[–]enriquesford 1 point2 points ago

shit they can still see me!

[–]Rallerboy888 1 point2 points ago

Where?

[–]thekemistmelb 1 point2 points ago

Where? I can't see anything!

[–]will_upvote_anything 1 point2 points ago

I must have confused LSD with aspirin again.

[–]Nesman64 1 point2 points ago

I wonder what a chameleon on an acid trip would look like.

[–]will_upvote_anything 1 point2 points ago

mind=blown

[–]devoutchristian 1 point2 points ago

If you lick it, it will take you on a trip to a galaxy far far away.

[–]heyjoetodd 1 point2 points ago

Paranoid Chameleon

[–]flip69 0 points1 point ago

Many by nature do not want to be so exposed or stared at... unless they're well cared for/handled so that they're accustomed to it. Early handling is very important starting at the 3-4 month range to avoid this.

Either way it looks like it's in it's breeding coloration and healthy... not too concerned with the camera.

[–]uglycool 1 point2 points ago

Crayon shavings on the chameleon!?

[–]ignitusmaximus 1 point2 points ago

But does it blend?

[–]Qvag 1 point2 points ago

[–]Smokescr33n 1 point2 points ago

"Beautiful Chameleon" kinda redundant

[–]phraggel 1 point2 points ago

Busted chameleon looks busted:

[–]ColPow11 0 points1 point ago

He looks so high - the paranoia is strong with this one.

[–]dont_you_hate_pants 0 points1 point ago

[–]pjackson0923 0 points1 point ago

LSD is a hell of a drug.

[–]TJAiii 0 points1 point ago

The panthers have the most elaborate colors by far. Truly amazing.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I prefer a red that is so old the fruit is all but gone and you're left with a very dry, woody wine with good acid balance

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

The adjective you want here is colourful.

[–]Probablythefirst -1 points0 points ago

He would fit in well with r/ainbow/.

[–]Buschman98 -1 points0 points ago

I guess he's trying to look like a flower? This is a beautiful close shot, but I'd also love to see a wider shot to check if there are flowers that look like this guy around him. Otherwise, I'd say he's not doing the best job blending in.

Regardless, (s)he's beautiful!
