Boehme's Chameleon

[Miss Lily]

My local reptile shop has got in two male Kingongia Boehmei chameleons that they have labelled Boehme's chameleons - I am confused as to what their 'English' name is. Can anyone help? I thought they were Dwarf Fischers, but I keep finding 'Two Horned chameleon' when I search. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good, reliable car sheet please?

There is a thread in the kinyongia section that has really good info in it. Btw I own boehmei and the dwarf fischers is k. Tavetana.

I don't know much about these guys but I found this thread thats worth a read

Not sure of their English name though... Probably just Boehme's Chameleon.

This is a pretty good page... I have the Tilbury book at home (I would reference it for you but I am at work). The site says the Tilbury book classifies these guys as kinyongia tavetana boehme... English name Boehme's Two-horned Chameleon. They must be closely related to tavetana

Thanks for the replies - I shall have a read up tomorrow.

As well as k. Tavetana I have seen boehmei's discribed as dwarf fischers as well as they are closely related.
I own 3 females and had a male that died so im on the look out for a male as well.
Has there been a shipment here in the UK ?
If your thinking of getting 1 I highly recomend them. There active quirky chameleons with great personality. V similar care to your xanth.
