He is shedding at the moment and this crappy iphone camera does not do him justice.

Looks very good, probably a young adult. Hes a Kinyongia multituberculata (monkey-tail fischers). Looks very healthy. Congarats!

I don't know much about Fischers specifically but he looks like he's in good general health to me! He's purty

"Monkey-tailed Fischer's" typically refers to Kinyongia matschiei or the East Usambara Two-horned Chameleon. As you said, this is a male Kinyongia multituberculata or West Usambara Two-horned Chameleon. He looks healthy but is likely a WC import and if you get him, you should have a fecal exam done to check for parasites.

Thanks, you don't understand how happy I am to hear that! Having the empty terrarium in my room is absolutely KILLING me!

 

[stevenelvin]

They told me straight up that he was WC. And I assume I have to take him to a vet (preferably one that specializes in reptiles/has experience with chameleons) to get that done?

Thanks Chris, I always get confused with common names.
