Thank you for your king comments, Jim. I'd be more than happy to get some of these to you if I am successful raising them. It would be my first go at hatching and raising chameleons, so wish me luck ;).
This photo captures a wild male and female Kinyongia boehmei pair just as they began the mating process. It was a successful pairing. Here's to hoping for the next generation!
Just over one month after this female laid a clutch of eggs, I introduced this beautiful male to her enclosure and within 5 minutes they were mating. Here is a video documentation of this successful pairing. I noticed that the female showed light, almost white colors, possibly indicating...
Great! Sounds like a breeding project (hopefully ;)) - if you have a chance to document your experiences with written and photographic observations, that would be fantastic! I'm trying to do just that with my Kinyongia boehmei.
Once again, thank you Jeremy for your reply. The male's viv is fully bioactive and planted, the female's is not as decked out with natural stuff, just potted plants and branches, but that will change soon.
Most of the videos of K. boehmei out there (that I could see) are either only a few seconds long or not so clear. I put together this video of my male and female feeding on various food items. Hopefully it shows this excellent species a little better.
Check it out.

Can anyone identify the plant shown in the following thread from Netherlands? I've seen it used in several European vivs and I think it looks cool.
