Strange looking little guy. Thanks for the pic.

Nice!
Great addition to your species count whilst down there.
Slowly ticking off the list, that head shape is quite odd almost like it doesn't have a distinct head.

Isn't it Robertson Dwarf Chameleon Common name?

Yes definitely ticking off the list :) In the book written by Marais Burger and Krystall Tolley, it gives the common name as the Little Karoo Dwarf Chameleon, but gives the Robertson Dwarf Chameleon as an alternative common name ;)
