Kinyongia Tenue
Hi everyone Im really sorry if this post is in the wrong section but for some reason couldnt place it in the genera section Anyway Im thinking of geting a pair of Kinyongia Tenue Ive been offered some CB 8 month old subadults unrelated but am not sure if they are a pair or 2 females Ive never kept the species before but would love to give them a go! Im not a novice as I keep many species. Would be most grateful to here what you guys think? thanks so much Heatherx

They both appear to be females. I love my two pairs and the females are definitely the "lookers" of this species.

Are you sure that those are real CB ones ? CB tenuis are very very rare. On my first thought I knew only two guys in Europe who have breed them this year

Hi Cain thanks for your reply I had a feeling they were both female. I know the chap really well Benny he has got them from a german friend so preety sure they are CB he has never let me down in the past! I have a 60cmX45cmx60cm Exoterra that I was going to use which is extremely well planted do you think this is suitable if I go for the 2 females & get a male later as I know he has more available? Thanks Heatherx

Definitely 2 females. I keep a pair together fine in a 45x45x60 Exo-Terra so you should be fine.

I use a 6500K compact fluorescent bulb and a ReptiGlo 5.0 compact fluorescent on my exo-terras.

Hi again everyone
I now have my Tenuis, had them a week tomorrow seem to have settled really well, one is a bit shy at the moment the other very outgoing thou. So glad I have them theyre adorable. Just need to find a male now as sadly the guy I got them from may not be able to help me. Does anyone know of any breeders that may be going to Hamm as I have friends who frequently do. Also can I check my temps are ok? 26 degrees basking 22 ambient & 17 nighttime. Will try to post pics soon. Thanks so much Heatherxxx

I have to correct you on thatone Benny, there are 3, the 2 you know which i know also and myself, hehe. They are indeed very rare and not easy to hatch. I've had only 3 juveniles hatching from 10 eggs (all others died during hatching and suffocated in the egg). I hope the tweaks i've made for the incubation of the other eggs will result in better hatch rates.

best regards

Joery

Is there a third guy ? You and Tom have breed them and Micha ? I have at the moment also a gravid female, which substrate did you use for them ? I've had often bad luck with females who hide their eggs and died after this
