Kinyongia Boehmei - Breeding Project Log

Yes brother glad to hear you're going for it. You're braver than me doing this with a full house. We have 3 box turtles which is as easy as it gets and i wouldn't dare do more.
Brooooo! I have been looking for you online on FB and everywhere for years!!! Hope you’re doing well, miss talking with you my friend. Drop me a DM with your number if you feel inclined, would love to catch up.

Funny you drop by, as fun as I’m having.. I so wish I would have followed through 15-17 years ago, whatever it’s been with our plans. I think about those days a lot. Everytime I see this little female I think about “Lil H”, the female Multitubularculata I had from you.

Idk if brave or stupid is the right word 😂 I only plan to incubate 4-6 eggs. We shall see how this first round goes and go from there.

So glad to see your name. You still get talked about on the Chameleon Academy platform with the Multitubularculata breeding project.
 
Update. September 28th when I paired them, she scale would bounce back and forth at 7 and 8 grams, but ultimately landed on 7 grams. I weighed her just now before feeding and she is at 9 grams. So about a 12% weight gain in 4 weeks.

Today marks 28 days since their first pairing. I am expecting another 2 weeks at least until eggs.

I am starting to prepare the laying bin and will likely put it in next weekend.

I think hatching any species of Kinyongia would be great!!

Someone breeding Kinyongia species in North America has not happened in such a long time, Kinyongia breeders are due for hatching a clutch of Kinyongia eggs.

Good luck with the producing eggs!

Best Regards

Great news! Fingers crossed for you! Keep me in mind when it is time to find new homes for the babies! I’ve given up on grandbabies but would love to continue keeping KB. Such a fun species!

I’ll have to go back and double check, but I think my eggs hatched at nearly 7 months on the dot.

Thank you! Can you see what times you incubated at, and how long gestation was? I’m at about 38 days, I’m expecting 45-55 for gestation, and 5-7 months for hatching.

Yes I will keep ya in mind! At this point, theirs enough interest, including you that probably all of them are spoken for which is exciting ☺️
