[leedragon]

brevicornis sp?

 

[redhorse]

Chamaeleo dilepis
If yes- my female from 2004's ear/neck flaps were smaller.

if no--and from Africa- I'm stumped.

 

[MissSkittles]

Cuteo Patootieis.

Looks like a Trioceros species to me. Could be a female Trioceros werneri. I'm almost certain it is in the genus Trioceros--just not certain if it is werneri. Trioceros is an underdescribed, many affinis (or similar looking) species out there so it is hard to say with certainty.

Here's an image of a male that looks somewhat similar.

And female:

To be honest, I'm not really sure what the species in the pic you posted is. But hopefully my response puts you on the right track. Researching chameleon species can be a lot of fun. Diving headfirst down the rabbit hole is a fun feeling IMO

HI
not Dilepis
not Werneri
These are smaller species.
Brevicornis sp. is closest

 

[redhorse]

DNA DNA DNA lol
Just kidding! Thanks

This was hard-- does anyone have current Cham Family Tree handy?
I would have guessed Mendez was correct.. Even after knowing.. Yes--- I have trust issues.

 

[Mendez]

How is brevicornis the closest when brevicornis comes from Madagascar and not mainland Africa?

Also, I misread your post, I thought you were some random person asking what species it was. I didn't understand that you already knew. You have peaked my interest lol! Now I am very very curious!

As in a calumma species thought they only on Madagascar thought you mean it mainland Africa a bradypodian

 

[ChameleonParadise]

Sorry , you are correct.
African continent.
trying to make a little fun.
New Hint, this is most likely a female, ( yes harder)
Same size, and similar dorsal crest. ( spikes going from head to tail.)

Another photo would help, is it really that blue or is light and background color making him just look blue?

 

[Coop]

C. Malthe or crypticum?

 

[Motherlode Chameleon]

That looks as though that could be a Calumma hilleniusi!?! The dorsal crest looks somewhat too big though.
