Trioceros bitaeniatus, also known as the side-striped chamaeleon or the two-lined chamaeleon is a chameleon native to Ethiopia, southern Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.^[1]

In Kenya, the Side-striped chamaeleon lives on Mount Kenya, Kilimanjaro, and in the Aberdare Range. They live in the Hagenia and Hypericum scrub in the timberline forest between 3000 and 4000 m. It lives between 1 and 2 metres (3–6 feet) above the ground in the giant heathers that grow here. They are strictly diurnal and shelter at night between dense bushes.^[2]
