Jeweled chameleon  (Furcifer campani)

Biology

Chameleons are generally diurnal, solitary animals that are often aggressive towards members of their own species, which may be marked by rapid colour change and aggressive posturing (4). Opportunistic hunters, these lizards wait for prey to pass within range, and then fire out their long, sticky tongue to claim their victim (4).

Little is known about the reproductive biology of this species, other than that it is egg-laying (oviparous) with a relatively short incubation period of seven to ten weeks (2). There are reports that two to three clutches are laid each year, with each clutch containing between 8 and 12 eggs (5).
