- The Nguru Pygmy Chameleon is an incredibly small species that grows to only around 5.7 cm long!
In this video Tia shows us her enclosure design for these wonderful little creatures in Reptile Tropics. You'll be able to look for these chameleons yourself when the exhibit re-opens in 2021 (keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates).
A major threat to this species is that it is heavily traded in the pet trade, which can be detrimental due to its very small population size. To combat this, the species has recently been listed on CITES Appendix II.
This species range overlaps with the Mkingu Nature Reserve, which gives the Nguru forest the highest level of protection in Tanzania. However, there are still some land changes for cultivation of shade crops in some areas. The size of the forest patch should not change in the future due to its protected status.
