Sexing Usumbara chameleons

[chameleongalore]

I have a baby usumbara and I was just wondering when you can sex them. It's 3 months old and there is no signs of horns. Does this mean that it's a female?

Dont know about this species, but you have yourself a nice "little" stable of chams there.......what kind of Kinyongia do you have?

and whats a fitchers chameleon? lol, Im assuming he means deremensis as the usambara 3 horns

Dang! I was getting psyched to ace this question... Moderator Laurie has a bunch of babies. She will be of more help.

The name is Trioceros deremensis. When will Americans stop to use those incorrect, unneeded names

Trioceros deremensis juveniles can be sexed very fast, because males will have three little horn "dots". Females not

eisentrauti just fyi he is Canadian... You are right anyway, I don't know why some chameleons have different names, it is just annoying.


But anyway you should be able to see something now, take a look at this baby Deremensis, see the ring forming on the tip of his nose.

Female doesn't have one:

Edited: These are not my photo's, I found them here (HERE) and I believe they were taken by Mike @ FlChams, sorry for any confusion.

My bad, I didn't think about that! You are definitely right though, I have updated my original post.

Thats what I thought, my baby is 3 months old and there is no dots or horns so it must be a female. Thanks

Fitcher is another type of a chameleon, the males have two horns. I have both the deremensis and the fitchers.

I have two male fitcher chameleons and two female deremensis.

I have two male fitcher chameleons and two female deremensis.

Could you possible mean Fischers , eh???....

And if so, they arent real Fischeri......let us know which ones you have...but Im betting that you have :

Kinyongia multituberculata also called, and sorry Benny, but us Americans tend to like "common" naming......West Usambara Two-Horned Chameleon

Check out Seeco's pics if you need confirmation that this is what you have.....he has quit the "herd" of multi.....
