I've hatched the only fertile egg laid last year from this species. Laying was 8/31/2014, with hatching today 2/22/2015. Incubation temperatures were consistently 68F-69F. First time this species has been hatched in captivity. Interestingly enough you can already see those distinctive...

She's out! She's out exploring. Pretty sure it's a female. Very calm and curious. If it were male it would be trying to kill me. Thanks for the kind words everybody. :)

This is the first time Kinyongia uluguruensis has been hatched in captivity anywhere in the world. Deposition was 8/31/14, hatching occurred today. Enjoy.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! Your photos are always amazing so that means a lot. I never thought my photo was that good because I have a crap camera, but I got lucky with the subject on that one.

I can't believe my crazy cham photo won! So many great photos. Thanks everybody for the votes!

Thank you!

Ok, I give. How do you embed the video rather than just the link?

"Supplements" is such a broad term. I'm just referring to pure calcium carbonate with nothing added to it. Whenever we as keepers have edema issues, we are told to "cut back on the supplements" with the main item getting the blame as D3. Since D3 is always cut with calcium carbonate, what if...

From several sources including one medical journal: "One of the most frequently reported side effects of calcium carbonate is swelling of different parts of the body. The face, tongue and throat are commonly affected." For those who don't know this, calcium carbonate is the usual source of...

I've had some go on hunger strikes for weeks, but it I do get concerned if they go three or four days and might try a variety of feeders to get them feeding again. Kinyongia love flying insects, as do most chameleons.

Yes, that species is the only one having symptoms. Specifically Kinyongia uluguruensis.

I make my own organic gut load, organic multivitamin, and calcium/D3 powders. Even though none of that has changed, I've stopped all supplementation for the affected animals while I try to work through it.

Via wikipedia: "The fruit and leaves are, however, potentially poisonous to poultry, pigs and possibly calves. Records also exist of young children who have experienced vomiting and diarrhea after eating the fruit." IMO, if you are just using branches, don't worry about it.

Possibly, that's why I said to keep an eye on him.

Runny stool is usually a sign of internal parasites. I would be concerned, but I'd wait to see if he has another like that before running to the vet. Could just be an isolated incident.

Obviously there is not much you can do about that. I feed them when it is convenient for me regardless of my automated misting schedule. I don't give it much thought.

LOL. Mine hate it if I wear my glasses. I guess I look like Heisenberg. :p

Yes. The vitamins don't stick as well as the calcium, so best not to do both at the same time.
