Here are a couple of pictures of Frac. We have a lousy camera, so we weren't able to get a good one of Fric. I'll post one when we get one.

She also displays some beautiful turquoise around her eyes, and 2 yellow lateral stripes. I'm very pleased with her, and hope that she is gravid.
 
She is a beautiful girl. Only one of mine is that bright, the others girls are not that nice. She's wild caught I assume, or did you luck out and get a CB?

That's interesting -- my other one is not brightly coloured either. She is dark mossy coloured with white lateral stripes. They are both long term wild caught, which was the best I could do, being in Canada. Perhaps I will have cb one day.
 
Well alot of the females can tend to be more Olive-darker green. While some on the other hand, are bright lime green. I can see yours is quite bright:)
I also see some nose grub there:(
 
It doesn look like nose grub in the picture, but in real life it's a bit of purple that she has elsewhere on her face and her legs.
 
Why do you think I have written this :confused:
Trioceros rudis don't live in captivity, some years ago only a few specimens do.
Trioceros sternfeldi are the ones which are easy available and imported in very big numbers
Sometimes a special variation, Trioceros cf. sternfeldi is available (I don't know the exaxt actual state of affairs in this taxonomic case). Those are called red or juweled rudis because they have a great coloration
 
I don't know, that is why I asked. When I looked at AdCham there was no subspecies listed, only alternate genus names. Same as what I have seen in books and online. If something is not found in captivity, then how would I know, other than what I can find to read? Also, it doesn't matter for breeding, if "true" rudis aren't found in captivity.
