This is a Rwenzori male,coloration of the head and eyes can go from red to orange and almost yellow(depending from what area they came from).Just got this guy today, he is CB and around 1.5 years old. I didn't have much time to observe and take photos due to a work conference this week but I really enjoyed watching him for the little time I did. He has a few minor issues but nothing that should prove detrimental.
One question- Can anyone tell me his exact locality? I thought Rowenzori, but I have seen pics of Bwindi that look similar too...
Bwindi always got Blue eyes.
Their is also a ssp Found in Burundi but these are very different in coloration,you will not found them here because Burundi haven't exporting johnstoni's the last 10 years.
Ssp from the Congo and Rwanda are never exported.
He looks very nice to me.

This guy shed while I was out of town, figured I would grab some pics while feeding today. Enjoy!
Flash...
In this last picture, corner of the right side of his jaw you can see it is black. When his jaw is extended there is a small white spot... Anyone have an idea what that might be?
The jaw feels solid from what i can tell by feeling it.

Come on, guys, settle down! Honest mistake! No disrespect meant!
(Listen, just say you meant "Johnstoni" and I am sure there won't be any trouble...)
Yes, my bad.

Thats a sort of dermal pouch(dermal gland) all johnstonii's have this if they get mature (ready to mate )they rub with it against branches to mark their territories probably its got some hormonal function.
They can taste the air with the tip of their tongue.

Normally after the 20th of march the UWA in Uganda takes the decision to give export license for 2013 or not.
This is the last mail the exporting Farm sends me:Hello Sir,
Thank you so much for the Order and the same time we apologies for the delayed answer.
We'll arrange for that shipment after the 20th March because all of the officers who process documentation right from the Ministry to UWA are currently abroad for a CITES Meeting.
We'll let you know the development as soon as they're back
