Smooth Chameleon
Chamaeleo laevigatus
The smooth chameleon (Chamaeleo laevigatus) is a species of chameleon native to Sub-Saharan Africa. It is bluish-green and has small scales. Its body is very slender, and it is similar to Chamaeleo senegalensis.

Range & habitat
Found mostly in the lowlands, Chamaeleo laevigatus is widely distributed in the Central and East Africa. It has been recorded in Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Zambia, Ethiopia, and Cameroon. There is uncertainty whether the Cameroonian records represent this species or the morphologically similar Chamaeleo senegalensis, and the same may apply to the Central African Republic.
