What I know/think/understand:
The term "Picasso Chameleon" is pretty much just a trademark by Olaf Pronk for the Chameleons he imported/sold. They were said to come from near Ambilobe- though they almost always had a "red barred" appearance and could now be the chameleons called RB Ambilobes.
He lives/lived in Madagascar documenting the wildlife and land, specifically chameleons and Geckos. He co founded the adcham.com website. He works/worked for "Centre Soafiavy", one of three of the larger export/conservation/reserves companies in Madagascar that works in hand with CITES. The site used to be
www.soafiavy.com, but its been down for... ever.

As for the term "Rainbow" its a horrible mestaken word. It can mean, a mixed locale, as well as has commonly been used to refer to Ambanja/Ankify locales (particularly rainbow coloured) as well as used to signify both the Diego Suarez local and the Maroansetra locale.
Just don't use the word "rainbow" when describing any locale.
