My son came across this lady in the garden. Good spotting!
Not n massive Boomslang, around the 1m mark but the Chameleon

Nice stuff. How close did she let you come?

She was about 4m's away so it was fairly easy to snap a couple shots while the cham was going down the hatch. I didn't want her to regurgitate it so I kept my distance. She battled a bit to get through the smaller forks in the trees with that load!
