what type of pygmy is this

[shermanator]

I picked up some pygmys....got some brevs but 2 of them turned out to be diff species.

I think they are temporalis, thought they might be spectrums, but because of size and coloring (size is same as brevs) seem to be more like temporalis from what I can see from other photo references.

let me know what you think, please?

Don't the spectrums have thicker tails? And he doesn't have the little bread of a brev.

 

[shermanator]

i think so, and the spectrums have a little burr type growth out the front of their nose....which is why I am sure these are temporalis

 

[c81kennedy]

Do you have any good links on temporalis? I'm pretty new to the pygmy thing and haven't looks up temporalis yet.

It's a female Rhampholeon temporalis.

Looks like Rh.temporalis to me.

 

[shermanator]

here is one of the main links that I found regarding temporalis.

thanks trace....that is what I thought....I have to get a pic of the other one, but it might be a male because of the thicker tail...just got them, so trying not to harass them to much.

thanks again,
sherm

Look at those little pouty lips! Definitely temporalis.

This is proof i am super awesome at id'ing pygmies!

I agree it does look like a male temp. Be sure to separate those two from the brevs. From what little i have observed. They are inferior in attitudes compared to brevs and when housed together they will submit all actions.

I agree it does look like a male temp.

It's a female. Male temporalis have a considerable hemipenal bulge; in fact almost rival Furcifer in size.

More proof!

Thats pretty neat. Learning a lot with these guys/gales.

Edit: Idk here is a male/female temp..Both have buldges but one tails is a tad shorter...http://www.chameleonnews.com/07FebHildenhagen.html
