lets see pics of everyones rare species they are keeping or have kept...

Wow, calumma gallus! Nice animals, and thanks for the images. That's one of my dream species to own, but I don't think that any will be arriving in California any time soon.

Here is one more pic of a sleeping C. gallus male

Yes, this is the Mike Phelps, formerly of Claremont, who once kept Parsons.

Here are a couple pics of my young male Brookesia superciliaris.

I have 2.2 B. superciliaris, and the larger male, which has appeared around this forum before, eats out of my hand enthusiastically. If I put my hand in his cage, he comes looking for food from my finger tips. But when my wife tried to feed him this past week while I was out of town, he hid from her hand and wouldn't come near. He's my boy!

Those are Brookesia therezieni. Equally special I've noticed mine love hand-feeding too.

The person lives in South Africa so the likelihood of you buying from the same supplier is slim to none. The name of the sub-species is merumontanus. Trioceros jacksonii merumontanus

What are the telltale differences between a therezieni and a superciliaris?

When I first received mine, I found a thread here on the forums where Chris Anderson identified one of your animals as a therezieni. The tail bases of your therezieni have an armored appearance, whereas the tail bases of mine are quite smooth.

Based on the images in that old thread (https://www.chameleonforums.com/more-brookesia-58432/), I'm thinking that mine are superciliaris. But I could be wrong?

Those are Brookesia therezieni. Equally special I've noticed mine love hand-feeding too.

Its very difficult to differentiate between Brookesia superciliaris and B. therezieni. In B. therezieni the integument (skin) is more course and heterogeneous, and the lateral spines on the tail are more developed than in B. superciliaris. I definitely think Danny's are B. therezieni, but I'd need to see more pics of Mike's to be sure. Mike's definitely don't have as rough of integument and the lateral spines are smaller, but its hard to say which side of the spectrum they fall out on.

Chris,

I will post some pictures of my superciliaris/therezieni. I would be interested in your opinion on their species identification. I can post some pictures of my males, but one of my females is roaming the bottom of her cage right now, apparently looking for a place to dig. So, my females, which share a 18x18x18 ExoTerra, need to be left alone for a day or two.

Thanks,
Mike
