There is said to be a form of T. sternfeldi from the Rubeho Mountains that does have a pronounced rostral. Doubtful it is sternfeldi just because it is further south then any of the known rudis types.

Both of the animals pictured are T. sternfeldi.

The photo is of a Trioceros sternfeldi. Carl

I dont worry so much about the major trace elements it is the stuff like chlorine, pesticide run off, silicates, arsenic, chromium, barium, copper, and lead to name a few. If Im not comfortable drinking the water myself Im surely not going to give it my animals. As with anything its your...

Yes they do but since water supplied by a system of pipes allows for leaching of toxic components from the pipes the only truely accurate test would be right from the tap. Carl

Is this water that has traveled across a large body of water like the Mozambique Channel? Either way how can you possibly know what supplimenting you need to do without knowing what is or isn't in your water. By starting with pure water you are in control. Carl

Great job! Spring babies are always nice. Carl

Here is a male I photographed in the Uluguru's. He was found in dense scrub vegetation in the mist of a waterfall. Air temp was 45f at 1800m+ elevation. The mosquito near his eye was not actively feeding. Air temp was to cold for mosquito's to be active. Carl
