First, they aren't Fischer's Chameleons (Kinyongia fischeri), they are West Usambara Two-horned Chameleons (Kinyongia multituberculata). That said, both are males.

If they are both Males one will be sold! I'm looking into breeding them and number 1 is the one I'm going to keep. They are a species of Fischers chameleon... Here are a couple more shots of number 2 
Thanks for the input.. that's what I thought they were but had to get other opinions... !! He's a bit camera shy so the pictures aren't the best

While they were considered a subspecies of Fischer's Chameleon for a long time ("Bradypodion fischeri multituberculatum" followed by "Kinyongia fischeri multituberculata"), they were reclassified in 2008 and since have been classified as their own species (Kinyongia multituberculata), which is properly referred to as the West Usambara Two-horned Chameleon. In fact, true Fischer's chameleons (Kinyongia fischeri) are very very rare and what we had been calling true Fischer's Chameleons for years are actually another species all together (Kinyongia matschiei), the Giant East Usambara Two-horned Chameleon. While importers and distributers still call all these species Fischer's Chameleons, that is not an accurate reflection of what they are.

Just curious, where did you get these guys from? And why did you buy them when they're both male when you wanted a pair in the first place?

My guy is super active and loves to climb onto me any chance he gets. He's definitely a character! Just love him, you should keep both!
