are these particular species difficult to care and what specific care do they need (temps, humidity,etc.)

they look very prehistoric:p

Thanks so much, he sure is doing well. He eats and drinks everyday as if he never gets anything :D

He's about 8-10 months old, these guys grow a lot slower than for instance panthers or veiled's. Advantage in that is that they don't get MBD that fast as other fast growing chameleons.

I keep my chameleons in screen cages or flexariums, other than most people do here in The Netherlands. A lot of people here keep chameleons in glass cages, but my personal opinion is that screen is way better. They can climb around a lot, the air flow is a lot better and temperatures don't raise to much, which is very important for montane species.

I mist them by hand twice a day (at the moment I only have quadricornis and a veiled male, but been taking care of a lot of other montane and dwarfs species as well) and these species seem to really love water and a foggy enclosure. (except my veiled :p)

It's hard for me to give exact temps because we count in Celcius but during the day it's about 23 C and at night 18-20 C, sometimes colder during winter.

Just keep them at a constant temperature which is not too high and high humidity and they will be doing fine :D

Also important is to not overdo on vitamins to much, calcium is not a problem but since they grow slower they use less vitamins and they can do damage on organs.

Wow...thank you for the info...and i suspected about the oversupplementing of montane species.....i think i mite plan to take on these species in the later future...but yours is really beautiful:)
 
He's amazing!! What a beautiful creature and his color is stunning! I love the fin on his tail and the spikes under his chin..you're very lucky to have him :)
 
He is sweet, my guys are only 5 & 7 1/2 months, I also have a female who is 5 months. I do love my quads. I also have jacksons & all of the share a room that is kept at 68 to 70 F and humidity of 55% to 80%. Does that help Ace?
