In the number of kalotes in Indonesia is starting to shift and drive out the existence of native local chameleons such as maned chameleons. The reason this happened was the result of the actions of irresponsible individuals, who kept the kalotes, then let them go. Because this lizard is less of interest to the public. As a result, kalotes chameleons become wild chameleons which are destructive and disturb the local chameleon habitat.
