I have found that dubia roaches are fairly easy to raise. You can get nymphs to feed off or you can breed them yourself. I know others have had a sometimes difficult time breeding them, but they are like rabbits for me. I feed them fruit and roach food that I blend up myself with dried fruit...

Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated!

I purchased what was advertised as K. tavetana. The cham with the pronounced crest is a multi (if you feel differently, please speak up). The other one has a very subtle dorsal "crest" with a noticeable single spine and then another "nub" just in front of that one which I can feel. These are...

No, no, man. It wasn't me. Honest.

I would wait until just after sunset. Sit out there with a flashlight and look up from underneath the trees, than work your way to the outside on the very ends of the branches. They get very pale at night and if he is around, he should be fairly easy to spot. I agree that it will go for the...

I mist mine twice a day. They are very very active and they do walk across the ground moreso than other Kinyongia species. My temps go down into the 60's. there is a gradient in the exoterra during the day which ranges from 70 on the ground to about 82-85 under the basking light. They wander...

I would be interested to see how well they do. Are they smaller than you would expect? I've experimented with temps a bit with day geckos. The warmer the incubation temps, the shorter the incubation and the smaller the babies. When we have cooled the incubation temps down, we get a longer...

Mine took 9 months and one week, incubated in situ at normal enclosure humidity and temps. Out of five hatchlings (all eggs in that clutch hatched), two are long term survivors (they are alive now at 10 months old); two died within one week of hatching and one died within two ad a half weeks of...

I am looking for tavetana and boehmei to continue my breeding projects. I have a gravid female tav and need another male. I am also looking for male and female boehmei to supplement the two I have. If anyone is willing to part with these, or know of anyone, please send me a PM. Thanks.

I agree with the neosporin. You can try the generic triple antibiotic cream, poly sporin, etc. Use a clean qtip. Before you smear that on, I would use some hydrogen peroxide on one of those cotton make-up rounds and dab it around on there to see if anything loosens up. Perhaps there is...

Geez, Ferdy. I'm really sorry about the babies. I can't really give you any advice on incubating them since I incubated mine in situ. They were buried in a group about 3-4 cm below the surface of the soil which is a mix of potting soil, dirt and pulverized coco fiber. I kept the enclosure...

Babies Hey guys. Here are a few pics of my newly hatched boehmei babies. These photos show them at about an hour of age. There are five total. They are monsters and puttering all over the place.

Those eggs look good! I also have two clutches from two separate pairings. The first clutch looks to be about the same size as yours and they are 6 months into incubation at this point. They are incubating just where the females laid them in the terrarium (I can see them through the glass)...

Jared, are you being mean again??!!:D

Laurie, How COOL! They look great! My girls are huge like Tinkerbell now. I can't wait to get them outside. Great photos. Congreats and Happy Mother's Day!

Benny, I wasn't disagreeing with you on taking the female out. She is coming out today. I was sharing my observations. I have been watching them closely and have seen no other behavior which would indicate stress. If i can find the journal article i read about these species living in groups...

Temps during the day range from 75-79 F ambient with a basking up to about 82F. I don't usually let the ambient get about 77 in the exoterra, although for outside, I will let it get to about 88F before I bring them inside. I am keeping about the same as the Tavetanas. Nighttime is about...

Jared, that is not an egg. It is a hydroball. The male is not clawing at the glass. Neither he nor the others exhibit any "escape" type behaviors like glass scratching, etc. I haven't seen this behavior since they arrived. I just checked on them and they are all either basking or catching...

I thought the first time I noticed this, it was a fluke. But, now it has happened every day for the last 5 days. Some background: I got this group (was 3.3 but the baby died so now 3.2) at the end of March or so. Within days, they were mating like crazy. I expect the first clutch of eggs in...

More room for chams, if you ask me :) Love the new lizards!
