Trioceros tempeli

[merumontanus]

Here are a number of photos of a female Trioceros tempeli I acquired this week. Other than the slight rostral bruising from shipping, she seems to be in very good health, and does not appear to be very shy. Unlike all my other Trioceros, she doesn't mind the camera.

Cheers,

Fabián

Amazing, Fabián !!! I'm so jealous !

Amazing Pics - She is beautiful!

 

[Fearaffect]

Very nice!! I plan on getting a couple on Monday......

 

[Trace]

Lovely photos as always. Wait 'til she settles in a bit and you'll see her beautiful yet subtle pinks and greens. I know they won't replace the merumontanus for you, but I think you'll find these guys really interesting. So buy the male!

Cheers!

Beautiful girl!!!!! Do I really need to tell you how great your pictures are??? I agree with Trace, get a male!!!!

 

[eisentrauti]

Hope to get this beautiful species again !

 

[Damaranum]

Very Nice animal.

Think about me when you ever get offspring.
I kept a male for several years, which I gave away when I moved.
They are really beautiful species.

Right on! I was wondering how you were resisting getting this species. Now I see you couldn't. Great photos! I love that double gular crest; so cool looking!

 

[merumontanus]

Thank you for the notes, all-- apologies about the delay.

I can't wait to see her acclimated so I can see her true, subtle, colors, Trace. We'll see about that male, Jared!

Do you have photos of your male, Steven? I would love to see them if you have them handy.

It's hard to resist such great variety, Kent-- as you well know. But even it's even more difficult to resist temptation when you know the animals are in good condition and somewhat established. The surplus of the deremensis has really left some cages vacant-- hence the new acquisitions-- but I'm reaching that limit soon. The xantholophus are growing very quickly and hopefully the other two subspecies will produce young soon.

As always, photographic documentation of any and all events will be posted here.

Cheers!

It are really beautiful animals.

Double gular crest /double crista gularis:



Great species !

 

[merumontanus]

Ah ha! How many other photos of other species are you keeping from us, Benny? Fantastic images, and what a healthy specimen! Thanks for sharing!

I look forward to seeing yours Steven.

Yes, quite an interesting gular crest, James, isn't it? And yet, it's so clear how much they resemble others in the bitaeniatus complex, like goetzei (hi, Trace).

Thanks for the note, Harry. More photos coming soon.

A few, but I'm still not a fan of posting them, do I lose my rights on them when they were uploaded with imageshack or others ?

 

[Damaranum]

nope you remain owner.

I made some pictures of my animals today. I'll try to upload and post them.

Steven is correct. You can add a copyright watermark to make piracy more difficult, but remain the owner regardless. Posting them is a was of publishing them. There is a date attached to that as well so , in essence, you're protecting them as you publish them. Sure, the best way to avoid the inconvenience of catching someone using your photo without your consent is to never show the photos, but where's the fun in that?

I recommend you check out Flickr for your photo storage. It adds an "all rights reserved" message to your photos in Flicker, and in general has the best (least) compression (colors look way better when uploaded).

Thanks for sharing, Benny.

I love how the gular crest splits into two and also the aqua-ish type colors. The conical scales (the correct term, right?) Have that coloration also. Very similar to the goetzei.

I hope you dont mind me posting a pic for reference

Trace!!!! I would love to hear about some of the subtle similarities of these two species. I hpe you dont mind me posting pics of your animal either
