Species and sexing?

Hi,

I bought her as a female Rudis chameleon.
Can you guys confirm this?

The rugose skin, stout dorsal crest and prominent casque all indicate it’s a Trioceros sternfeldi. Rudis is a misnomer in the hobby as that species is rarely exported if at all. Male sternfeldi have a marked hemipenal bulge and this particular specimen lacks that. It’s a female.

Agreed. Female Trioceros sternfeldi, a species typically dubiously sold as "rudis".
