T. sternfeldii?

[Smaug]

Hi,

I'm new on the forum. First, sorry for my bad english, i hope you can read me..

I have 4 litlle chams sold as T. Rudis. In fact, i 've bought them because the care sheet was really bad. I have read a lot of articles about this species and it's the resaon why i'm not really sure they are T. Rudis, perhaps T. Sternfeldi. I didn't find a lot of pics to compare.
Can you help me to know which species are they? They are almost 2 months.

Thanks a lot,

Yep, you have Trioceros sternfeldi. This species is usually imported and sold as T. rudis, but there are not true T. rudis in captivity. T. sternfeldi was once considered a subspecies of T. rudis, so even though it is now considered its own species, most people still refer to it as T. rudis.

Your animals look very healthy, by the way!

Thank you very much Chris!!

I 'm happy you find them healthy!! i've bought them they were 2 days. It was a challenge for me.

I don't think of keeping them afterward (i'm not sure), it was just for saving them and having more CB .
