Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. And wikipedia doesn't have much on any specific species, but more so just the genus as a whole =/. Still really awesome though!

Based on its size, it really could only be Brookesia minima.

OMG tooo toooo tooooo cute.

That is simply amazing!!

So tiny!:O and i thought pygmy chameleons were small!

Wow....that's CRAZY! How did someone notice that???? LOL..............

This is seriously one of the cutest things ever!! :D I'm just trying to imagine what it eats, or, like mpkeelee said, how tiny the eggs are!! I also love how, even though it's sitting on the finger of something 5 million times bigger than itself, it still looks like it has the typical chameleon attitude: "What? You lookin at ME?? I will mess you UP!!"

How adorable!

WANT!!!!! Actually, I'd be afraid to lose it!! My bf was thinking about getting a couple pygmy chameleons but we changed our minds since we do like to handle the animals we have and we're both afraid to lose/squish one of those!
