Bradypodion caeruleogula – uMlalazi dwarf chameleon
One of the lesser known Braydpodion from Northern Kwa Zulu Natal, this species occurs in two or three very isolated patches of forest. I've been looking for this species close on two years.

Forgive the photo but for size reference, and yes that’s what your face will
look like after searching for one chameleon for two days.

Thanks for posting! Great job locating your Bradypodion caeruleogula or uMlalazi dwarf chameleon after 2 years of looking. Thanks for the pictures and keep posting your South African chameleon encounters.

Best Regards

Your chams are wonderful. I can see why you spent 2 years searching for your heart's desire. Thanks so much for posting pictures of chams I will most likely never get to see.
 
I've been wondering since your post- are dilepis in South Africa found in areas that have significantly cold winters?
