Trioceros hoehnelii Vs. Trioceros sternfeldi

[BleuSaphir]

Hello,
When if was my first time here...I posted that I was wanting one point a Veiled Chameleon but I decided that maybe it not a well suited species to keep...maybe some other time where I can get my own space where I can find an appropriate place to keep. Now I am looking at some montane species and I found that I am interested in either keeping Trioceros hoehnelii or possibly trioceros sternfeldi. I'm stuck on which would be better off to keep. Both are very appealing by color and size.

What is you're thoughts on pros and cons on these species.
and it setup size that it would be housed in would be at least a minimum of 18X18X24 or I would love to get 24X24X30!

Thanks.

I keep hoes.
I have one male, one female.

they are small in size. my male is just over a year old, and hes at max 8 inches nose to tip of tail. his girlfriend, weighs only 9 grams!

THey are fairly easy to keep imo.

I supplement with repashy all in one once a week, and they get misted 6 times a day. (they require alot more water)
they are very sweet, and they have the best personalities. no angry tudes , andthe best part, since they are live bearers, no eggs!

they arent as flashy as panthers, but mine are both very pretty shades of green and blue.
Heres my little girl. Miss piggy.

I'm so happy to hear I pick at least one good species willing to start out with!
I think Trioceros hoehnelii are just as beautiful as any chameleon. Their skin texture and their coloration give them a unique look.

They are a great little species.
The problem is finding them.

none of the site breeders have any. (and even if they did, theyd be wild caught, and thats not good for a newb)

i got both of mine from showjet95. (mine are captive bred)

i believe ataraxia has a female for sale.
