Hi

Some pictures of my F1 boehmei clutch. They are about 5 weeks old. I really like this species. Some photos are a bit blurry because they are fast!

Thank you.
They are about an inch from snout to vent at the moment. The tails are very long normally 60% of the total length.
Adult size is 3 or 4 inches and weight is about 8 - 10 grams.

This is their mum!

Mama is so pretty! She is quite a chunker for being so small! And that tail! I don't think it fits! I assume that is an evolutionary thing, but why? Are they ground dwellers? Don't need the strength in the tail, because it isn't used much? I have never seen this breed, so obviously I am intrigued.

Happy to answer.
They are submontane species and live in the Taita Hills in Kenya.
The tail is long but they use it a lot. Very active animals and they use the entire enclosure. I have seen them using the ground to hunt too

Trying to find a pic of an adult male.
