Furcifer oustaleti, Florida

Oustalet's chameleon was introduced to Florida before 2000 to avocado groves behind the facility of a former animal importer in Miami-Dade County (Gillette et al. 2010). Records from EDDMaps, a web-based mapping system used to document invasive species, indicate this population has remained active at least through 2017, when state surveys ceased (Rodgers et al. 2020). Several individuals have also been found in Palm Beach County. In Florida, Oustalet's chameleons have been found in vegetation including avocado, gumbo-limbo, oak, lancewood, and white leadtree.
