The Drakensberg dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion dracomontanum) occurs in the Drakensberg, South Africa, between the latitudes of 27°45′ and 29°15′. Bright green dwarf chameleons (emerald dwarf chameleon) found in the Drakensberg south of 29°15′ are now known to be more closely related to the Natal Midlands dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion thamnobates) and may yet be described as a separate species.{{cite book|last1=Tolley|first1=Krystal|last2=Burger|first2=Marius|title=Chameleons of southern Africa|date=2007|publisher=Struik|location=Cape Town|isbn=9781770073753}}{{cite journal|last1=da Silva|first1=Jessica Marie|last2=Tolley|first2=Krystal A.|title=Diversification through ecological opportunity in dwarf chameleons|journal=Journal of Biogeography|date=April 2017|volume=44|issue=4|pages=834–847|doi=10.1111/jbi.12966|s2cid=91069270 }}
