Hi everyone. This is my second cham, a K. multituberculata which I got from forum member Seeco. Thank you Luis for offering me this cham, I appreciate your extensive knowledge of this precious species...and now a picture of my new companion Stevie-Ray, in honor of the late Stevie-Ray Vaughan.

What temperature range is best for these guys. I'd like to get another spiecies to work with. I really like the look of these. I'm also thinking of getting some Quads again.

I'll take this question.

Care is not much different than for Jackson's. I'd say they like a good opportunity to heat up and digest (not over 90F under the heat and not over 80 ambient), followed by plenty of water, then followed by good ventilation and a dry cage by nightfall. On the other hand, they can survive temporarily with warm room temperature conditions (75F) and just a UV bulb and a weak dripper once a day. But really, the hot then wet then dry cycle is best.

Here is Stevie-Ray as a baby:

EDIT: are ficus trees ok for kinyongia m.? I haven't noticed him bite the branches, but one time I took him out and placed him on a ficus bonsai and he started nibbling at the bark a bit, but not enough to make it leak sap. Not sure what to do since I dropped $70 on the two trees.

Thanks for the pictures of the father and the baby pic, definitely archiving those.

All my guys chew their branches so I'd be wary but don't just throw the plants away. Most of the branches I'm talking about are older dead twigs and quite softened up by repeated misting.
