[3] Glaw and Vences found B. stumpffi on small islands of Madagascar away from the main land mass of the country in 2007.

[1][4] There are no known major threats to the Brookesia stumpffi, and the species seems to be adaptable to "disturbed habitats".

[1] Brookesia stumpffi can grow to a total length (including tail) of up to 9 cm (3.5 in), and has a life expectancy of at least three years.

[5] During reproduction, the female B. stumpffi lays between three and five eggs, which hatch between 60 and 70 days later, provided they are at a temperature of 23 °C (73 °F).

[5] B. stumpffi feeds on insects such as crickets, fruit flies, cockroaches, wax moths (waxworms), and grasshoppers.
