C. Tempeli aka "Panda" Chameleons

[Tempeli]

Hello,

I bought from nick(FCR) A pair of C. Temepli and I was wondering if ANYONE at all have experience with this species. I looked all over the web and nobody seem to have any real information about them. I am treating them as pygmy chameleons. Both seem very active, today had some waxworms with injected reptaid( they seem a bit skinny and dehydrated) otherwise, I seem them actively drinking and eating just fine.


In addition, I have done fecal exams and they came up empty. These are farmed raised.

I trust Nick Mole on his word and I don't see anything funny. Nick mole has a very high rep and import many rare chameleons and animals that otherwise nobody would have.

Sure here's one that basking in the palm tree when the first arrive.

The scientific name is Chamaeleo tempeli (unless they changed it?)

Thanks for the help.

Instead of being skeptical why not (try to) offer help?

I wish I knew more about tempeli,
it looks like AdCham had a page for Tempeli.. but they are down now..

They don't have much information on them. I've always thought they looked interested and wanted to learn more about them forever ago but never had much luck.

I keep seeing goetzei pop up with the tempeli on search.
Trace, a moderator on these forums has experience with the goetzei. I don't know if they have much in common but it doesn't hurt to ask.

EDIT: She does have experience with them as does Chris Anderson as notified by the Experience Keepers list.

Trioceros tempeli

How goes your search for info & Chams? I recently got a Trioceros tempeli off the classifieds & he is great, such a very cool little guy! I am looking to getting a female in the spring & hope to start raising a few.

the only one I have ever seen in the Classifieds has been this OPs for months now. You sure you didn't get it from him?
