Veiled or Flap Neck

[Karliah]

Hello all!
I've been browsing this forum for several months but just joined today. I've decided to keep a flap neck chameleon (although I'd love a high casqued, I can't seem to find any for sale).
During my search for a flap neck for sale I came across this little guy. He has vary faint spots of darker green, so that's why I'm not sure which it is. I have no experience identifying chameleons, but I'm sure someone here will know. Thanks in advance!

K.,

Welcome to the site. Looks like you've posted a picture of a 3-5 mo. old veiled cham. They are often referred to as a Veiled or Yemen chameleon. From my understanding and practice, they are a great cham. to start this hobby with due to their more forgiving nature, but don't be fooled, any animal is somewhat labor intensive. Read all you can and get the proper setup to suit the breed you choose. You reference a "high casqued" cham. as one you'd be interested in. Male veileds possess the ability to grow a very prominent casque as they mature.

Also male cham can be identify with a spur each on both their hind legs along with more colorful pattern when they become in their adulthood

Darn. I'm not interested in the veiled because of how large they get, and won't be able to provide the proper enclosure.
By high casqued I ment specifically trioceros hoehnelii. Can't seem to find them for sale anywhere. Is there a reason for this other then that I've seen them regerenced as "rare"?
I had a chameleon many years ago, and despite doing everything wrong it lived for about 5 years. No idea what kind it was. But looking back I suspect it was a veiled.
This time however I want to do everything right. Or as right as I possibly can.
I've read everything I can find on the flap neck cham and am dead set on a male one of those (unless I get a chance to own a T. Hoehnelii)
