The world wide quota for imports from Madagascar for this species is 2,000 annually. Needless to say this has had an impact on availability and price. Another development has been a lack of regional color variants being available, as most shipments have been consisting of Ambanja's and Nosy Be's. We will have to see what that means . . . The long awaited arrival of this species have unfortunately, resulted in many disappointed keepers, as the health quality of many of the Uganda chameleons has been poor at best.
Small colonies do very well in planted vivarium.
