I'm looking for information on
Trioceros Hoehnelii and am not finding very much by googling. Could anyone direct me to caresheets or give me set-up information please? Many thanks!

I'm looking for set-up information to start with. I have a panther chameleon and wondered how they differ in terms of set-up and husbandry. What are their heating and lighting requirements?
Many thanks!

Thank you, I have had a good read. It was a great starting point. Now to find a general consensus on set-up!

I am currently working with a small group of them that I received from @jajeanpierre. I had to play with their setups quite a bit before I figured out what they really needed.

They are much different than panthers. If you are stateside, you will more than likely get the locale that I am working with. I think all of the hoehnelii that have come in the states over the last two years have been from the same farm. They are baskers. They live in high elevations and require some crazy temp fluctuation. I let my guys get into the high 70's during the day with a basking spot in the low 80's. During the nighttime, I drop the temp into the 50's and ramp up the humidity. After making these changes, I found my guys really started to look better and appetites increased. I think people have trouble with them because they keep them too cool during the day. Like I said, they like heat and basking. But that nighttime drop is the important part IMO. It has to be considerable. I also keep all of my hoehnelli in glass enclosures. Much easier to achieve the humidity that way.
