WC female

This female laid 3 months ago. She has started looking pretty "thick" and I am expecting her to lay a retained clutch soon. When I received her she was gravid and had a touch of edema that went away shortly after she laid. Besides being plump she seems to have a touch of it again, this is another reason I suspect her to be gravid. She is such a pretty little biatch

Not so happy.

And pissed.

At last, I found a thread with kinyongia experts. I picked up a WC fischeri multituberculata from a reptile show and he has shown very little activity in his cage. He displays very dark coloration, dark browns. I'm wondering if it is typical for these guys to exhibit such dark resting colors and be fairly sedentary. My panther makes him look like a couch potato. Anyways, thanks for the help!

IT may take some time for a WC to acclimate. I would be getting a fecal ASAP.

They arent very sedentary at all and I would call the 2 species I have the most active that I have experienced. Make sure he is staying cool and being VERY well watered. They are very shy and nervous so a densely planted cage is necessary to make them feel safe. The bigger the cage the better. The little multituberculata I have runs marathons all over his cage all day. Not many times I find these guys just hanging out unless they are basking. Large cages are great for such an active species and also acclimation.



Thanks Benny!!!

Thanks a ton guys. No matter how much prep and fine tuning, it always seems there's gonna be some little hitch. Luckily I had a ton of plants and bigger cage I put him in. He seems to be doing well since the move.

I do see the turrets sunken a bit and he seems to be a very picky eater. About 6 crickets and 8 teeny little moths have been eaten in 2 weeks. He has only pooped once. I have him on 3 mists a day, 5, 8, and 10 min durations with a 1hour drip each day. I might have to give him a soak if I don't get a good bm soon! Other than those, no major worries so far.

Any comments/suggestions are welcome! Here's Kona, named after our honeymoon location.
