K. tenuis finally laying...

Congradulations!

Hope you end up with some babies in a couple months, and hope your female recovers well.
This is quite a rare kinyongia in the states right?

I would say it is pretty rare here compared to the other species mainly kept. Is it rare where your located?
 
Congratulations and crap, crap, crap!!!! Please put me on the list to buy a baby, I am still kicking myself for not buying them from Jared when I had the chance.:( I really am excited for you but also green with envy.

Haha thanks laurie! I will keep you in mind when I get a few clutches as I think I am going to keep the first clutch as a second bloodline. :( But If all goes well I should eventually be able to send you one! ;)

And me too please(waiting list)....once you established a well ground breeding project of course...by then i feel im up for the challenge of caring the species;)

Well this clutch was only ONE egg :( So I am gonna be the only one on the list this time. But I will however keep you all on the list once I have some good reproduction.

Only one egg? Is that normal for a tenuis?( my mac keeps changing tenuis to tennis- driving me nuts) I guess I thought more like 5 or 6??
Maybe some of the guys in Europe might know. We could ask Benny.

They are suppose to have a clutch of about 2 - 6, however food intake had been cut down to prevent a large clutch so egg binding would not be a problem, Since it can be quite prevalent in this species. I am sure her next clutch will be bigger and from what I hear it's not long before she's gravid again. ;)

Yip very rare. We probably dont have a single individual of that specie in South Africa.
I might have an oppurtunity to get some, but a lot of the trioceros and kinyongia do not do well here in S.A. Dont know if the transporting stress is what kills them with the parasites, dehydration and hunger, or if its the temperature and humidity difference in Gauteng.
From what I have heard the jacksons seem to be the only chams that do quite well here. I heard that most fischers you just give a funny look and they drop...
I could look into finding out for myself of how the species will do but its quite a risk.
Im guessing if I manage to breed some species such as these I could export them to the U.S?

You could but wouldn't you need to correct paperwork, to get them here as they are only allowed out of the Republic Of Tanzania as Captive Bred F1 specimens.

Unless they come out as a mislabel which seems to happen every so often.

I think coming from Tanzania they would have less time in transit for you in SA. Of course it just depends who received them. Joe B. has a minimum order which involves lots of non CITES animals. Is there some one near you that deals with the farm in Arusha? If you get a copy of the CITES document it shouldnt be much of a challenge to export them or offspring from them. I would also think some of these Kinyongia would do well if they didnt come in all beat up for you in SA.

Tell that little girl she already has lots of fans.:D She is to stay healthy and feel free to lay fertile eggs at her leisure.

No idea who the person is that would send them to me, a friend of mine just showed me the specie and price list of what we can get.
I was going to ask him about importing but he told me I should just give him the cash and he will do it for me. So will be looking into it next year.
