Habitat
Like other members of the Brookesia genus, the Antsingy leaf chameleon has specific habitat requirements. It exists in primary or relatively untouched tropical deciduous forests where there is a dense leaf litter. This dense leaf litter is important as it provides food for the Antsingy leaf chameleon. During the night it perches on low twigs, stems and leaves (2).
