I received a pair of chams that were sold under the guise of F. Lateralis lateralis.
But then I noticed something was off.
For starters, the axillary pits are incredibly prominent and they have a higher "brow" ridge than my other lats.
My other l lats are blue/green whereas these are a brighter, more rich color of green. The male in particular is almost an emerald color, nearly devoid of the white patterns and markings of a normal lateralis except for one white line along his body length on either side.
The female is a whole other story. She is younger, smaller than all my males, also with prominent brow ridges and axillary pits. She is a bright neon yellow and black. Her neck turns red with yellow striping and she looks so much like the colors of a female furcifer minor I've seen in a photo from Frank Payne.
With this, I was told this pair is Furcifer Viridis. However, after nearly a month and a half,, the female has not turned pink, as I have read is the case with that species. The male is slightly bigger than my lateralis lateralis males, but not by much. Again, the female is pretty young still so still pretty small.. Would they be a furcifer lateralis major? If so, who would have info on this species as far as proper care and breeding? Thanks in advance.
