Agree!! If you want a mongrel... please get a dog,

Agreed! Same goes for what Understory Enterprises in Columbia are trying to achieve with their breeding programs of endangered Poison Dart Frogs.

Thanks very much Chris. I do remember reading those threads before, but very interesting to read them again. Are you still keeping them Chris? Btw, sorry to sort of take over your thread Debby. Hope you don't mind.

They look fantastic Luis. Is this the first attempt to breed them or have they bred before?

You can feed dubia nymphs but they need to be before the first moult really. After that they are a bit on the large size. I found feeding them just after being born, while they are still white & soft bodied was best. First stage locust were readily taken too. And anything i found in the garden...

Ok thanks for the info Chris. What species would you say he is? I believed him to be K. fischeri fischeri, but now he's most likely K. matschiei then?

Agree with Jann. Although i cant really say too much, as I also had a lucky escape (or my cham did). I actually lost one of my little male hoehnelli in my garden a few weeks back. He was awol for over ten hours :D. I eventually found him that night once it got dark. I went out with a torch &...

No "mess" with substrate... Don't even have to clean out tanks/enclosures, if they are set up properly. :D If your interested, look into bio active set ups. All the rage here in the UK atm. Not just for chameleons either, but all sorts of reptiles & amphibians. In fact the idea originally came...

Don't just dismiss it mate... try it. Lots of keepers in Europe & the UK (& a few in the US too) have been using substrate in their enclosures for years now.

An earthy substrate with a drainage layer & lots of live plants will also work.

Wow!! I never new that, thanks Chris. So Kinyongia fischeri, are still K. fischeri & are a separate species?

Have tried a keeper/breeder in Europe, that i was told might have one. But still no luck! :( Anyone know of any? Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi. Do you know which sub species he is? Looks like a multituberculata? He looks great, I also have a male. I really like keeping this species & find my male is fairly tame, as long as you let him decide if he's in the mood to be handled or not. How do you find your's to keep? Here's a pic...

jacksonii xantholophus. No, they should be housed individually. Pet shops generally don't have a clue. I had a local reptile shop that had two WC males in the same enclosure. One was jacksonii xantholophus, the other jacksoni jacksoni. Both were at opposite sides of the enclosure, very dark...

Totally agree regards the pet shop/reptile ones. I now use ones made for human applications, i.e fridge/freezer models.
