Any Trioceros Deremensis owners out there?

[AxelsMum]

Anyone else out there have a Trioceros Deremensis? I've searched a few facebook groups for fellow owners and I've yet to find any. I have a three year old male deremensis, (wild caught). Looking for other owners to discuss husbandry and care specifically to the deremensis.

Thanks!

@Motherlode Chameleon do you still have this species?

I thought maybe Bill Strand had them?

@AxelsMum I think Bill Strand (Dragonstrand cages) has or had them. Try Gary Hoag.

No my last Trioceros deremensis Charles passed away a couple years ago. When Tanzania opens up again is a species I want to work with again.

I do have a friend in FL who has them. He is not on the forums, but if you want to send me your contact info, I will send it to my friend. Best I have to offer.

@DeremensisBlue is quite fond of the species.

Do you know if he's successfully breeding them or just currently has them?

It has been a while since I spoke to him, so I am not sure.

Sigh...if I felt I had decent (or any) vet support I would love to keep this species again. Just don't want to take the chance with a new cham here. I MISS them!!

I've had a lot of health issues with my wild caught male, luckily I live near a great reptile vet. Have you had similar issues as far as eating and health goes? Also would you be willing to share any photos? I've seen a lot online but the sources are never too great. I love this species and would like to get another one after doing a little more research. Also as far as purchasing I have not seen too many available near me.
Also, I LOVE the fact that your's is 8 years old! Mine is just coming up to three years.

I've been lucky, he has been very healthy, but he is captive bred, not wild caught. He had an infected toenail one time. He damaged his horn during shipment when he was a baby, and the middle one curves backwards.

He is housed outside most of the year, in a heavily planted cage 2x2x6'. I bring him inside when it gets below 48. I feed him one or two food items every two days or so, or when he is hungry. Doesn't eat too often in the winter.

I have a photo album of him on here in my profile. His name is Duke. He was the cutest baby!

That is a sassy looking chameleon

Actually, I just checked my records, and he turned 9 a couple weeks ago! I'll get a current picture of him, he doesn't look much different. That one I just posted is from 2015

Is very experienced with them. He might still have his old man but even if it died, he's still one of the most experienced keepers of that species. I heard he just had a clutch of Parson eggs laid.....

Ralph you have a pair of parsons, just one pair! That is what you told me - I believed you! Now are you going to be waiting for Bill to have baby parsonii?? Bad Ralph, very bad boy!!!

He's beautiful! I'm so so sooo happy to hear hes 9 years old, that's great! I've been keeping mine outside while I work for a few hours (in the summer) but he lives mostly inside. He's very friendly. He has a couple quirky horns too probably from when he was shipped as well. Do you know about how much he weighs? Mine does not seem to each much either, though I do offer him a variety of foods daily. The vet gave me some emeraid that I mix with water and feed orally to keep his health up through his food protest. The food protest is the worst its so hard to get him all his nutrients and he hates being force fed.

I'll definitely check out your photo gallery, I've been meaning to update mine as well!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, its so hard to find other owners with this species.
