Another one joins the ranks.....welcome!!
The multi. are fairly easy to keep. Temps 75-85 day and I let mine at night go to 55degs. I water 3-4 times a day roughly 30secs - 2mins each.
I feed 2-4 insects every other day with calcium each feeding and D3/vitamins 2x month.......
Outside from 8am to about 12midnight(sometimes more...depends on when I go to bed or earlier if it gets to cold)
They are a shyer species so they do like alot of foliage with a good open basking spot....

No prob.....always glad to see some1 come over to the Kinyongia side....Thankyou fearaffect for the advice!
How old is your K gonna be?
And another thing tht seeco and I have noticed......the more natural sun/outside time they get, they will develop a purpleish crown.....my female is well on her way to getting hers.....but I think the males have the best....the male in my gallery(doesnt show it) had a really nice one after he acclimated.

I've kept a couple and found them very busy, so get the largest size cage you can fit in your space. Their activity will reward you. Lots of humidity and hand spraying, moderate basking temps or they can get burned. They are a montane species and not conditioned for heat or intense UV.
Mine weren't exactly "friendly", but not nasty either. They were a funny mix of being tolerant and reactive. They tended to show every emotion quickly, were quick to hand feed, didn't particularly like being handled like most chams, sometimes shy and hiding in the cage but would come right up to me if I offered food. In fact, once one was so eager for a snack he jumped into the bowl I was holding, knocked it out of my hands, it landed on top of him on the floor, and he just sat there calmly eating his bug. Another male shared a very large heavily planted cage with a male Usambara three horned (deremensis) without fuss. The fischeri roamed the brighter tops of the plants and the deremensis lurked in the lower shadows. They sometimes slept on the same branch.
