Trioceros Jacksonii Species

[Jessegyr]

How can I tell the difference between the three species of Trioceros Jacksonii?
I want to know this for breeding purposes?

And one quick question can a male an female share a cage?
I personally believe they shouldn't but i see it in pet stores often.

This is the one I am specifically looking at.

jacksonii xantholophus.

No, they should be housed individually. Pet shops generally don't have a clue.
I had a local reptile shop that had two WC males in the same enclosure. One was jacksonii xantholophus, the other jacksoni jacksoni. Both were at opposite sides of the enclosure, very dark & continually eyeing each other up. Visibly stressed & dehydrated & surrounded by feeder insects. And this was supposedly a specialist reptile shop?

Thank You!
How do you tell the difference between the three, what am I looking for?

There is a good article with information on telling them apart here: http://www.chameleonnews.com/10JulManchen.html
