    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Welp, project is officially on hold. The male was doing…. seemingly well until about the time the female died. He went down hill quickly and died last Friday…. I got a CB female shipped in that I’ve had since that same Friday. She’s only 3 grams so lots of growing to do. I’ll be raising her up...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Hey all. Bad news.. the female started going down hill quickly a couple weeks ago. She started roaming the bottom of the cage, and dug in the soil a bit, but never did finish digging or lay. She just couldn’t pick up weight either. I am not 100% sure what happened, but I ended up losing her...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Hello everyone. Close to 2 weeks in at this point, which I can’t even believe.. Female - doing quite well. She is feeding quite a bit but I have discovered an issue with her tongue. She is only able to shoot her tongue maybe an inch. This results in most times, she climbs into the feeder cup to...

    The Five Commandments of Chameleon Hatchling Care

    Good post and video as usual, Bill. It’s exciting to see such progress, and community driven advancement in our thought process. It will be interesting to see the results of people putting is into action the next few years. Thanks for sharing. Carson Fillin

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Day 2 Grabbed some small crickets, not quite pinhead but probably 2 week or so. My local reptile shop carries good feeders and I purchase there. Nice to not have to deal with shipping! The female ate 8-9 crickets while I was gone for a few hours. This was positive to see. Still drinking and...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Ok I’m getting behind on updates.. Day one, 2/18 Female came in in great shape. Maybe a little skinny, but good other than that. She immediately started to drink when she got into the enclosure, looking desperate for water. She didn’t appear dehydrated, but she was definitely in need. I have a...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Man it would be awesome to have you jump onboard with a pair or two! I hope we can get some KCK traction like we did before. They are simply incredible. Thank you about the enclosure. Theirs a few things I’d do differently in the future, but overall it’s working great. It resides in my office...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Working on a video to showcase them better.. but here is a sneak peek at the female, and a link to my Instagram to show the unpacking. Interesting behaviors so far, I’ll post tomorrow my first three days of observance. Link won’t work?? Anyone know what the deal? Fillini_chameleon is the...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Well ran into a snag. Communication randomly had stopped about that treated WC male… I went a head and changed directions and ordered a farmed / WC male and female pair. They are getting me pictures so I can pick the animals. Weather is cold this week, so we are planning to ship Monday for...

    Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

    Hey all As some of you are aware, I’m a long term big Kinyongia fan. Right now, the only available Kinyongia in the states is Boehmei. Small species that historically has not had a lot done with it here in the states. Hopefully this can help others enjoy the species and work with them a little...

    Gutloading Schedule?

    Food processor works great for that, I do that most of the time. Easy to make a huge batch and not worry about it. Don’t worry about finding pre gut loaded bugs.. if you feed them off the day you get them but they don’t have food in them, it’s not that big of a deal. 1 feeding isn’t going to...
