An update: for about two weeks my female K. boehmei altered her normal routine of going to the top of her enclosure to bask as soon as lights come on. She began going down to the bottom and hanging around there. So I figured she was nearing time to lay eggs. Her enclosure did not have any soil...
Thank you Chris for sharing these outstanding photos. Great to see you are in Kenya, teaching and doing field research! All the specimens you documented are amazing. Especially the T.j.jacksonii spp. pictured last - what size are they and do you think they are fully grown adults? Can you share...
Very cool! I like that you have featured a rare and unique species. Also shows what a wide range of color patterns chams can take on. Thanks for sharing.
Jann, superb photos! And what an interestingly colorful species. Really great composition on the first photo. - a definite photo contest winner! Agreed about hopefully getting some blue-green, but just subtly beautiful as is.
Thanks for sharing :):love::cool::D
Wow, thank you everyone for your votes on the photo contest! Steve @ Chameleons International really sent me some beautiful animals. I'm really stoked to have won. My congratulations to JannB for her amazing photo of her gorgeous cham, as well as all the other contestants and their beautiful...

Here are some photos newly acquired pair of K. boehmei. These are farm bred/raised in Africa and imported April 2018. Sold as K. tavetana, but clearly K. boehmei. My first experience with these, but I can already tell these are going to be one of my favorites. Right now they are in 16x16x30...
I've not typically been a great fan of veiled chams, but your cham and photos could possibly win me over;)
Thanks for the excellent photos - really suburb!! Brings out the beauty of a healthy and very cool color form of the species.
Ekona @Tattersb I have admired the photo or your xanth showing all those yellows, turquoise and greens, which I think is a great photo and a beautiful cham - hope he is doing well(y)
@Tattersb thank you! He is beautiful and I’m glad you like the photo. It took him a while to settle in, but once he was in his new spacious enclosure he really blossomed.
Beautiful boy in his enclosure simulating the yellow wildflowers found in his native habitat. His bright turquoise and yellow colors say he is relaxed, healthy and happy!
Thank you Jeremy. The keeping environment is what I have been able to research and duplicate. This is my setup: keeping in glass enclosure (Zoo Med) for humidity retention, low level lighting of both UVB and plant growth, live plants, bioactive substrate, 4 to 5 mistings per day to keep...
Yep I've sussed that info out already and I think I'm pretty much on point, then, keeping them at the same cooler temps and higher humidity as the jacksonii. I'll periodically introduce the male and female(s) to see if mating occurs -they are now kept separately. I'd still like to correspond...
