The minute leaf chameleon (Brookesia minima) is a tiny chameleon from the island of Nosy Be off the coast of Madagascar. They are one of the world's smallest reptiles at just a little over an inch long. Like other chameleons they can change their coloration they tend to be a very dark brown when calm and almost white when agitated. Their prey includes tiny insects like fruit flies and springtails. When in danger they first rely on their camouflage to escape if this does not work, they feign death, and if they are gripped they will vibrate at a high frequency. They have been bred in captivity but their eggs are so tiny that the preferred method is to incubate them in the enclosure.
