Brookesia micra was not only the smallest known chameleon in the world but also the smallest reptile on earth until January With the description of the species Brookesia nana , an even smaller chameleon from Madagascar took over the two titles. We have collected the data given above over several years with thermometers and hygrometers at the finding places of the chameleons. For example all measured minimum temperature values of February have been calculated to one average minimum temperature for February.
In plain language, this means single peak values of a day may be a little higher or lower than the average minimum and maximum temperatures.
The climate on Nosy Hara is similar to that of Antsiranana Diego Suarez on the coast: it is warm to hot, and relatively dry most of the year.
The location as an island in the sea provides for a somewhat more humid climate, however, there are precipitations nevertheless mainly in the rainy season. At night the temperatures drop only slightly and are still very warm when camping you sweat very much.
We have measured UVB data with a Solarmeter 6. We always measured the values that a chameleon could maximally reach in its habitat. The following pictures show the habitat of Brookesia micra at the end of the rainy season on Nosy Hara. This species belongs to the few chameleons that live right between the Tsingys, needle stone rocks, in the dry forest. The ground along the Tsingys is very rocky and crossed by gravel and stones, many small twigs lay around.
