K. multi female

[Mike Fisher]

The most heavily scaled chameleon in my collection is this female Kinyongia multituberculata. She was WC and she's been in my care for two years. The scalation on along her flanks looks like tiny four leaf clovers.

She's one of my favorites. All the females of this species are just as nice as the males IMO.

Yeah she's really lovely Mike. Not surprised she's your favourite.
Something really endearing about female chams i think. What sort of temperament has she? I find my male fairly easy going.
If only i could find one like her myself.

Shy but sweet. She's not a biter like a lot of Kinyongia.

Are Kinyongia females as problematic when it comes to laying eggs ? I'm always seeing problems with veiled chameleons getting egg bound but not so much with other species- the female Kinyongia are so pretty. I'm wondering if it's the species or that there are so many more people who have them.
My girls seem to have more personality than my male chameleon -

No. They usually have less than 20 small eggs per clutch, two to three times a year. The main reason veileds have problems with egg binding is due to huge and frequent clutches.
