roperi gravid color??

[casperpetersen]

Hi
Is there anyone who know if this is the gravid coloration of af Ch. roperi or what it means?

she got those colors after the male was on a visit

Hey Casper, it has been a while since I have had Dilepis but I seem to remember that the dark body with bright yekkow spots is nonreceptive colour.

Good luck next time...

PS How do you know it is dilepis roperi?

Before she got the yellow spots she had some light green spots...

she is gravid. im no expert so take my opinion with caution.

I would say gravid also. The paler color she showed before with the spotting is receptive coloration.

Looks like gravid coloration to me.

The criteria from witsch i derived my teory, that this is Chamaeleo roperi (no longer Ch.delipis roperi )

1 - Small occipital lobes (not as small as quilensis)
2 - no tharsal spur on the male
3 - relatively small size of the adults
4 - The country of origance was "Farmed in Kenya" (but they was sold as gracilis)

Any better guesses ???
