The Swartberg dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion atromontanum) is a species of chameleon endemic to South Africa.
For many years a dwarf chameleon of undetermined taxonomic status was known from the Swartberg area. A subsequent phylogenetic study resulted in its description as a new species. Morphologically it can be confused with B. gutturale but the two species are allopatric.
It is a small chameleon not exceeding 12 cm. It is usually a pale yellow/brown with greenish hues.[1]
It is endemic to the Swartberg mountains, Western Cape, South Africa. It occurs in the Swartberg Nature Reserve. It is also found at Groot Swartberg.[1]
Swartberg dwarf chameleon is arboreal and inhabits mountain fynbos habitat.
