I know it´s an older post, but just wanted to clarify some things.
Picasso is not a cross between locals, but a natural local.
I think it was back in 2004 that they came into Europe and were sold under the name Picasso, as the exporter (Olaf Pronk) wanted to keep the local a secret.

Its NOT a Calumma species, but a Furcifer species ;-) Furcifer balteatus ;-) When that said, people once thought it was related with the parsonii group, as it has certain similarities, bodyshape, skin structure etc. F.balteatus is closer related to F.lateralis, F.major etc. then the parsonii...

Thanks.

Alot of people have theories about how the different locales looks like and where they each comes from, but the fact is, most people have only seen a few pictures of the same animals and most of them...

Where did you hear this? I do not agree on this one.
Most of the C.parsonii locales are isolated in "small" forest fragments or plantations near forest edges. The "orange eye" has the biggest distribution area, and they too differ in colours, So what is a "real" orange eye yellow giant?

Chameleons are an fascinating and iconic group of reptiles, but unfortunately they appear to be under a disproportionately large level of threat with extinction. While an alarming 26% of reptiles species globally are estimated to be threatened or near threatened with extinction, an astounding...
I agree 100%
Invasive species is a BIG problem, also with chameleon. Just read the latest article about T. jacksonii in Hawaii!!
also, your chameleon is showing NATURAL Chameleo/ chameleon behaviour. Chameleons are shy animals and should be left alone.
Do you have any pictures of sick chameleons. Then we would love to hear from you. We are updating our website and in this context we need more pictures, among them, disease.
The idea is, that we want to know how veterinarians treat chameleons for all kinds of health problems, and what the...
