[3] Chamaeleo dilepis is a large chameleon, reaching a total length (including tail) of 35 cm (14 in).

It inhabits coastal forest, moist or dry savannah, woodland and bushy grasslands, and may also venture into rural and suburban areas.

[1] The adult female flap-necked chameleon lays 10-40 eggs in a hole dug in soil.

The diet of C. dilepis includes a variety of invertebrates, although large individuals may take geckos and other chameleons.

No detrimental effects on the total population size have been observed so far, although more in-depth studies have been recommended.
