This could very well be misidentified, but I think it’s a carpet chameleon, also known as a white-lined chameleon. Carpet chameleons are a type of panther chameleon found in Madagascar. I photographed this captive individual en route to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. I thought it looked a bit like a beaded belt. If I’m wrong on the ID, please let me know. Thanks. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 105mm with Canon 500D close up filter) ISO 100, f/22 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-600 flash units.
You’re very close, but it isn’t a carpet chameleon, it’s actually a Karma Chameleon. The species was first identified by Dr. Boy George and researchers at the Culture Club in 1983. You can distinguish between the two species because unlike the carpet chameleon, the karma chameleon comes and goes, it comes and goes.

Ooooh Louis LOL
I really like these chameleons. Keep trying to convince Tony to let us have one. Not happening.
Looks like some modern Native American beadwork! Awesome lizard.
I’m sure I have seen carpeting like that in a casino I once visited!
