That is Kinyongia something.

Maybe Kinyongia boehmei, or Kinyongia tavetana?

Im not really the person to be saying, but it is Kinyongia

I'm moving your thread to the identification forum.

I think it's common name is a dwarf Fischer chameleon. And it totals in length of 9.5" someone please correct me if wrong because 9.5" is too big for me. I'm guessing if I want small chameleons I need to go Pygmy. Dwarfs are under 12" and goal to about that.


Sorry for my thread placement. I'll try harder.

That is kinyongia tavetana I have a species similar kinyongia boehmei, they get around 9 inches with the tail fully extended. Hope this helps!
