Trioceros pfefferi

[Nicholasdeaan]

Anyone who's ever worked with this species or has some good valid information concerning care for the species, if you could be kind enough to pm I would appreciate it. Just trying to figure out the basics. Thanks.

They live in the same habitats as T. montium and T. quadricornis. They don't extend as low in elevation as T. montium and don't occur in the disturbed habitat that T. montium will, so you'll want to keep them cooler and with plenty of foliage, but similar conditions otherwise. I posted a number of threads in the Field Observations subforum from my trip to Cameroon with Exo Terra, where I talk about the conditions in the forests we found this species in. I've also kept them in the past. Most people keep them far too warm.

I will go take a look at that. I assumed they preferred it cooler. Just trying to find a base for ambient temperatures.That always seems to be a problem with Montanes is them being kept to warm. Thanks Chris.
