I am offering an adult male Transvaal Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion transvaalense) measuring approximately 10 cm in total length, captive bred. This small chameleon is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of rarer southern African species, combining compact size with fascinating behavior and the characteristic color-changing abilities of chameleons. The Transvaal Dwarf Chameleon originates from the mountainous regions of Gauteng and Mpumalanga provinces in South Africa, where it inhabits scrubland, grassy slopes, and gardens at elevations up to 1800 meters above sea level. This species is distinguished by its relatively small body structure, short prehensile tail, and ability to adapt to variable climatic conditions, making it hardier than many tropical chameleon species. Males reach up to 12 cm in total length and display more intense coloration during breeding season. The Transvaal Dwarf Chameleon leads an arboreal lifestyle, though it readily descends to lower vegetation and ground level when foraging. It is diurnal and exhibits a moderate temperament – not as skittish as some larger species, but direct human contact should be kept to a minimum. Captive-bred individuals may become accustomed to their keeper's presence, but it is important to remember that chameleons are observation animals, and excessive stress negatively impacts their health. This male feeds on appropriately sized live feeder insects – house crickets, dubia roaches, and fruit flies. Feeding should occur every 2-3 days, and prey items must be supplemented with calcium and vitamin powders. This individual has an established appetite and readily accepts offered prey, actively hunting moving insects introduced into the enclosure. Minimum enclosure dimensions for a single male are 40x40x60 cm (width x depth x height), with vertical space prioritized over floor area. Daytime temperatures should range from 22-26°C with a localized basking spot reaching 28°C, while nighttime temperatures should drop to 15-18°C, reflecting natural conditions from their highland habitats. Relative humidity should be maintained at 50-70% with morning and evening misting sessions. UVB 5.0 lighting is essential for proper vitamin D3 synthesis. The enclosure should be densely planted with live vegetation (ficus, pothos, ferns) and equipped with numerous branches of varying diameter for climbing. The chameleon comes with complete CITES documentation (Appendix II), compliant with legal requirements for trade of this species within the European Union. This is a fully acclimated, healthy individual well-adjusted to captive conditions.
