Good luck with him! They are VERY aggressive to keepers and prefer a lot of secrecy. I highly recommend a lot of foliage in his cage. Put so much that you won't be able to see him unless he wants to be seen. And water, water, water. I'm sure you're aware that this species is known as one of the most difficult ones to keep but if they haven't been too damaged by the capture/export process and you can acclimate them, they can actually live for quite a while in captivity.

Nice. Thats a species you dont see every day. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice. He seems to have arrived in pretty good shape and is not nearly as shy as I anticipated (though he's only been here about 6 hours). He has eaten a ton and I've been watering well, and he is in a glass terrarium to help retain humidity. I'll keep everyone posted on him and hopefully any females that arrive down the line.

He looks awesome, I was expecting to see a veiled, nice to see something different
Why is it such a problem to attain females?

Oh ok, thats strange why not import females at the same time? I hear a lot about how people need females of their kinyongia chams, was wondering whats up with that?

Im pretty sure this one had a temporal gland infection or some type of mouth problem that resulted in its death. A shame too since this one was a younger specimen. The one I had was full grown. Found him dead one day out of nowhere
