T. Quadricornis and C. Rudis Sternfeldi

Here I am with another cham post.:D I haven't had any snakes in my collection for several months, but I still enjoy this forum... and thought maybe some would appreciate these.

After about a year of research and prep I am venturing into another realm of keeping and breeding Chameleons, Montane species. They are a bit different then keeping Panthers and Veileds being that they tend to be found in higher altitude, cooler damp regions. High humidity, cool temps, and tons of water are a must.

I had a WC C. Rudis Sternfeldi brought to the show for me from Mike at FL Chams... This little guy is so incredibly cool. He is a full grown male, so they are a smaller species, and my favorite part about this species is that they do give birth to anywhere from 4-20 live young. I can't wait to find him a lady so I can witness this, and work on getting some more CB generations out there.
Because of his size... and he is a "Rudis" I named him after the Notre Dame Bench Warmer Rudy Reuttiger... Yup the guy from that old movie "Rudy"...
"Your too small to play football Reuttiger!!!"..hehehe:D

This is Rudy the Rudis Sternfeldi.:)

And lastly on my way back from the show I was lucky enough to pick up a rarely seen cbb T. Quadricornis. A friend of mine down in Oceanside is having great success breeding them... and was nice enough to throw one my way in hopes to create some more cbb generations. I have been wanting to work with these guys for years... but never thought I would be lucky enough to get my hands on a CB... But now I have him... and I am like a kid on Christmas. He is a 4 month old Juvenile... I have a female coming for him in a few months... I can't wait to watch him mature... I absolutely love this little guy!!! Prepare for cuteness...

AMAZING chameleons. I have wanted one since I first saw one when I was about 7. Good luck with those boys.

very nice dude!!!!!


I cant wait to see that little male grow up to look like daddy.

Thanks guys! They are cool little chams! I am used to working with the larger species for the last few years... So I am really enjoying adding this aspect of the hobby to my day.

If by any chance anyone happens to know of any available females from either species shoot me a line. I am on the hunt.
