Thank you all!
The tail is really strange.
A female have a realy short tail, almost no tail and by the male there is a longer tail such as by newborn Rhampholeon spectrum.
So it is easy to tell from day one what the sexes are.
Yesterday I have checkt my adult acuminatus females and...
This egg I have cut it open, because this was a clutch from august and the egg has collapse. I found a dead not fully grown juvenile inside.
The next day it wasn’t a pleasent supprise to find to dead juveniles that didn’t make it. The have try to come out the egg, but the didn’t succeed...
Here we are with a update from these species.
It has taken a long time, but after 191 days the first Rhampholeon acuminatus has hatcht.
I have put my incubation data in a table and a diagram. Please note that the incubation temperature are in degrees Celcius and that the text is in...
It has been a while that I post, but here I am with a update from the spectrum eggs.
The first photo is from a juv that didn't make it, look at the spine on his nose:
And here is the second one that came out after 238 days and he is doing great:
Just spray the terrarium and the juv...
Here we are again with a new update from my breeding group of acuminatus:
Colors from a horny female...
Here the horny male. Who says that dwarfs are not colorfull? :)
Differnt colors from males.
Male searching for female...:)
And at last, he founds his female.:cool:
These...
That is not good news. I wish you my sympathy.
Thanks to shear the picture with us. They are very good and we can learn out of them.
On the look of the eggs and the shape I will say that the eggs are unfertilized .
But let us hope that I am wrong...
Best regards
After many pm's and not find the time to answer every pm, I will put my way of keeping Rhampholeon acuminatus online.
First of all, this is may way of keeping them with success. Maybe there are other ways...
I keep my acuminatus in small groups together, 1 male with 2 females and I keep also...
I recommend that you wait for a while.
A female that weight 35 grams, is to light for breeding.
Normally you can breed with females from 50 à 60 grams. More weight is even better.
You sad that she is 7 or 8 months old, are you sure about the age?
Do you have a picture from the female?

Okay it took a while(very bussy), but here I am with some nice photo's from my acuminatus :
And of course some photo's from the clutches.
On the photo's you will see that I have two clutches, but on the moment I have allready three clutches. (photo's will follow)
First...
This topic is not about acuminatus but about a Undescribed species, Rhampholeon (Rhinodigitum) sp. "Nguru".
If you take a good look at the picture from Justyn, you will see the difference.

They look nice, but it is not so good news that they did not live long.
And do you have new clutches from this species?
I have at the moment a clutch of 3 eggs of acuminatus, I have them by daytime temp between 19 and 21 degrees celsius and a night drop to 15 degrees celsuis.
I hope that...
If it is for acuminatus, I prefer screen cages(24"x 18"x 24").
And do not keep them to warm. They prefer colder conditions like other pygmy's. Put some branches with moss in the cage allong with plants. Use normal sand as substrate and put again some moss on it. My acu have lay there eggs in...
