Rhampholeon kerstenii Babies

[hemiram04]

I had 5 of 13 eggs hatch today. These are true kerstenii pygmys. I will post pics in a little bit as I could not get any clear pics of them.

Sorry Rieppeleon kerstenii. Was so excited!

Great news, John, I'm glad to hear they hatched. Can't wait to see photos! Let me know how they do and if you decide to sell any.

Wow, Rieppeleon kerstenii?! Almost everytime someone has claimed have them, they're almost always R. temporalis. They remind me of Brookesia; such stunning animals!

Good luck with the hatchings ,

Beautiful!!!! Great work! I hope to see lots of updates with this clutch

Kudos go out to you.

How big is that zz?

 

[hemiram04]

I will keep everyone updates as per your request. This is truely a great pygmy that is not common. I have fallen in love with them. The bummer is that I am having a problem finding another male as I have a female that is of breeding age. I have Nick at First Choice Reptiles getting me one (if they ever come in) and can use this to breed the babies her and the babies once they mature. Thanks for all the support.

from all the pygmy fans out there: Heck yeah!!!! Awesome and Amazing!

 

[hemiram04]

Also the zz plant is about 3 feet tall!

 

[adamkwas]

How many adult R. kerstenii do you have? Or do R. kerstenii lay lots of eggs like R. nchisiensis?

 

[Kent67]

Ok, I'll third. It's FANTASTIC to see someone working with and having such success with the more uncommon species! I'd sure like to see updates as they grow, too!
