Hi everyone,
for some research I am looking for dead specimens of your Kinyongia.
Particulary I am searching for Kinyongia tenuis, oxyrhina and vosseleri, but other species of Kinyongia are welcome as well.
Please contact me via PN if you own some in alcohol or "deep-frozen"
Thank you...
just a short comment:
this species is called "dubia" (not dubai), what is latin and means "the doubtful".
This has absolutely nothing to do with the arabian city "Dubai": this roach comes from Argentinia
well, if we are talking about cheap and good lenses or bodys, we should clarify what the quality issues look like on the pictures.
My camera is a 2 year old Pentax K20D (maybe comparable to EOS 500D and Nikon D90), and this picture was done with the very cheap and ugly standard kit lense...
Damn, :eek: we need to upgrade, I guess :D
The biggest problem during this videotake was to get enough light. We had two stabilized 800W bulbs in 1m distance to the chameleon, and still the video is very dark. In the back you can see the terrarium with an additional 150W HQI bulb... since each...
nope, its the other way round: Chris' video is like mine, cause mine was done first ;)
Just kidding. Mine is just for entertainment or to make visible what you usally cannot see (e.g. the hit of the tonguetip at a insect). Chris vid shows scientific information regarding his work.
Hi everyone
I am currently searching for some good ideas how to install an automatic Dripper or Raining System for outdoor cages. Since I dont have wether waterline nor powerline, this system must be without electricity or solar powered, and grant a few hours a day dripping, or a couple of...
hi everyone
a few years ago, a biologist (Dr. Rudi Diesel) did this video of my chameleon with his Typhoon Slowmotion Camera. He recently agreed I may upload it, and here it is.

I try to upload the second part next week.
hi everyone
first of all: happy 2010 :)
A few month ago, i read an article about the Kinyongia dorjeesuni. The only description of this new species I found is on
http://news.mongabay.com/2009/0420-kinyongia_dorjeesuni.html
- to be honest, in my eyes this is not a real description.
The only...

hi Cainschams,
same to me here, I lost one of my 3 wc tavetana females 2 months ago. The vet found Strongloides, but not at a critical level. I dont know what the reason was. I guess, one thing was the change from outside to inhouse cage or the change to another vitamine-powder.
two of my...
only the species moved, not the genus ;) The genus "Kinyongia" is new (since 2006).
A name is usually split in two parts: the genus and the species-name.
Since 2006 the genus is "Kinyongia", the species is "tavetana".
Before it was Bradypodion and before (I think) 1986 it was Chamaeleo. (in 2008...
comparing your latest picture to your first picture of them, the DO grow:
please dont stop posting updates here ;)
btw: can you post a few pictures of your whole enclosings (for adults and baby)
just beeing courious
nearly all chameleons in the wild are "infected" by parasites. They cope with that because of 2 things:
first: they die quite early .. most individuals die with 2 or 3 years (by preditors).
second: there is something lik a balance. There are some parasites, important bacterias and much more, not...
hi all
maybe my english or my eyes are too bad, but I dont see silkworms at the pictures. I see zoophobas, the giant mealworm. Aren't silkworms the worms of a butterfly that makes silk-wool?

hey all
I put my K. tavetana into the appletree this afternoon.
As soon as the male saw the female, he changed his colors immediately to "courtship-colors"
in real live, the colors are much more intensive. Unfortunately he reduces colours a bit everytime he sees the camera.
Watch the difference!
