SOMETIMES in life you just want to curl up and pretend the world outside your own little shell doesn’t exist.

This little chameleon was captured in a moment of confusion when it appeared oblivious it had left its shell.

Chameleon breeders and photographers Canvas Chameleons captured the moment, showing the young reptile wrapped up tight.

Who knew a baby lizard could be so adorable?

Owner of Canvas Chameleons Nick Henn told National Geographic he had used a cuticle clippers to help cut away the youngster’s egg when it appeared to get stuck while hatching. Henn expected the baby chameleon to be full of life and ready to start his adventure.

“You don’t get to catch that moment when they first come out,” said Henn.
