Description

This species can grow from about 30 to 40 cm in length and weigh 120 to 150 grams.
Distribution
Trioceros deremensis is found in Afrotemperate rain forest patches in multiple mountain ranges. It lives in isolated populations, usually away from the forest edge, within a range of about 1,400 km2. It is endemic to East Usambara, Uluguru, Nguu and Nguru Mountains, and Udzungwa Mountains.
Pet trade
This species is captured for sale to hobbyists. Between 1992 and 2011 a total of 8,437 live specimens were exported, 622 of which were not captured from the wild, but bred or born in captivity.
gollark: The in-memory database is, however, really fast, it's fearlessly concurrent™, and it uses relatively high performance libraries.
gollark: For ease of implementation it uses an in-memory database which isn't hugely space-efficient. But I don't anticipate this using more than something like 10MB on Minoteaur-sized databases, and PHP/MW database backends (except SQLite) have more overhead than that anyway, as far as I know.
gollark: Plus, Minoteaur is much more resource-efficient, ish.
gollark: Also, I want features they don't have and I can't work with their giant million-line legacy codebase.
gollark: Mediawiki is open source. However, it's written in PHP.
