Due to their slower metabolisms, feeding once every two to three weeks is sufficient.
ceratophora is known for a nasty temper and its willingness to strike, so extreme care is needed during feeding and while handling (with hooks or tongs).
There have been recent breedings of this species, but no readily available reports of the manipulations required for breeding are known.

  Tennent's leaf-nosed lizard - Ceratophora tennentii: More Information - ARKive
Tennent's leaf-nosed lizard is one of five Ceratophora species endemic to Sri Lanka, commonly known as ‘horn-nosed lizards' or ‘horned lizards' for the elongated projections the males possess at the tip of their snout.
Even the Latin name Ceratophora means ‘horn-bearer', referring to this unusual ornamentation (3).

  SKETCHES OF THE NATURAL HISTORY OF CEYLON
Whilst the faculty of this creature to assume all the colours of the rainbow has attracted the wonder of all ages, sufficient attention has hardly been given to the imperfect sympathy which subsists between the two lobes of its brain, and the two sets of nerves that permeate the opposite sides of its frame.
In mature females of eight inches in length (and the females appear always to be smaller than the males), the horn is only one half or one line long; while in immature males five inches in length, it is one line and a half.
CERATOPHORA TENNENTII and C. Among the specimens sent from Ceylon by Dr. Kelaart, and now in the British Museum, there is one which so remarkably differs from C.

The phylogenetic study of this group is difficult since the majority of species are polyploid and asexually.
Section Ceratophora in the Gulf St-Lawrence area (Eastern North America) reflects this difficulty.
According to different authors, 3 to 11 apomictic species may be present in the area and several of them could be endemic.

The characteristic nose of the Ceratophora tennentii appears to have some sort of use, which Project Knuckles could not determine.
It was observed to change colour and move, perhaps suggesting its use as a method of communication, or perhaps it is to attract prey.
Whilst it was considered that the cultivation of cardamom in the Knuckles Cloud Forest would lead to a drastic decline in the Ceratophora tennentii populations, Project Knuckles observed the lizards to be thriving in such artificial habitats.
