Kingyongia species?

[BackwaterReptiles]

New import, just arrived today. I'm having trouble identifying what species of Kingyongia...matschiei perhaps? The two faint white bands on her back half seem indicative, but I admit I'm just not sure. If it's multituberculata I can take it like a man. Just doesn't look like the rest of the multis I keep. Any information would be greatly appreciated for this, and future, knowledge.

Here she is from a few hours ago, laid 17 eggs...

K. mats female. Be especially vigilant with her recovery from the egg laying. Pay special attention to whether she is feeding. These WC females tend to go off feed after deposition.

Almost forgot, if you get hatchlings from those eggs, I want some.

Yep. Female Kinyongia matschiei. Best of luck with the eggs!

Much appreciated Mike.

I actually have a large male Matschiei as well, and if this is a confirmed female, I have two other females in addition to this speciman--one is gravid. I did see the female who laid the eggs eat one cricket shortly after I put her back into the enclosure, but I didn't pay much attention after that.

Again, I appreciate the information and guidance--I will pay close attention to her going forward.

We're going to have to do some baby trading. Good luck with the eggs. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Absolutely. Would be more than willing.
