兩隻變色龍被關在圖像中間的[[三複合正八面體]]籠子中，而對於選擇變色龍的原因，艾雪說道：「因為他們能夠依靠他們的腿和尾巴攀爬，捲到籠子的空間內」<ref name="taschen">{{citation|title=M.C. Escher, the graphic work|first=M. C.|last=Escher|publisher=Taschen|year=1992|pages=5, 14|isbn=978-3-8228-5864-6}}</ref>，因此只是艾雪認為變色龍比較「適合」待在這種形狀的籠子中，而沒有其他的寓意。<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://shann.idv.tw/Teach/liberal/kernel/Escher.pdf | title = 艾雪的心靈版畫 | publisher = shann.idv.tw | access-date = 2019-09-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190929082525/https://shann.idv.tw/Teach/liberal/kernel/Escher.pdf | archive-date = 2019-09-29 | dead-url = no }}</ref>左側的變色龍伸出舌頭可能也有載於其註解中；考克斯特觀察到變色龍的舌頭有一個不尋常的螺旋形尖端。<ref name="coxeter"/>
