Usually the pointiest end is up… like your last ooth in the photo… the point on the bottom right is the top. Here’s some I set up yesterday. I usually put them right in the enclosure, but need some for my cham sitter for an upcoming vacation.

I dont think its shed. Ive had two chams with it - both lived a long time (one made it to 7!) with only an occasional “wart” or “pox.” It is definitely contagious to other chams. In some chams it can cause larger “pox” internally and/or externally, but at this size I wouldnt worry about that...

Here’s my experience https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/oops-kinyongia-boehmei.173893/

Those are my babies pictured! I love this species! Lots of vining plants like philodendron micans, pothos, etc. my favorite to use is small ficus allii or benjamin, or similar, but adding some thin branches and vining plants works just as well. I look for branches with lots of tiny branches...

They are. There are several great site sponsors to order from, too. Starting a dubia colony is easy and worth while but you may need to order extra while its getting established. A variety of bugs is best. Rainbowmealworms.com was my go-to for years, as they have a lot of variety...

Order insects online. If temps are below 45 degrees F, have them held at the post office for pickup. Better bugs and better value.

Room temp is fine. can also keep the ooths in the fridge for a few weeks (but not past april). They actually need several weeks of cold to make them think winter has passed.

Often I just wedge them against a branch directly in the cage. They “fall” out while hatching so you dont want to obstruct the ooth or a few inches below it. If I want a more controlled environment I just hang them from a lil piece of wire, poked thru the lid of a tall deli cup and shake them in.

I feed mantids often! I buy the eggs / ooths in December or January (usually harvested around then) in bulk on ebay. I hatch them right in the cage. For smaller chams or females, they eat them as babies/hatchlings. Small but fun/engaging! The larger chams usually ignore them until the...

Agreed. It seems like it would not take much effort for petstores to update their signs and literature to put the animal’s best interests at heart. They’re in the business of selling those supportive items, so it seems like a win win?!

I’ve heard this from vets and don’t necessarily disagree. I think they are 99% insectivores, but some do intentionally eat foliage and flowers for unknown reasons. So those that intentionally do, even if infrequently, would technically fall under the omnivore definition. It’s unfortunate the...

They are both def juvenilles. So tiny - I think I am going to order some hydei FFs and some 1-2 week crickets

Oops… I did it again. Meet Panini and Pinoli! They just arrived today - wildcaught from LLLReptile. I’ve been searching for them for 2 years, and as soon as I saw them in stock at LLL I pounced. They are small and I’m thinking they are both young .. the male looks especially young. If I had...

I found a pair!!!!!!!! They arrive later this week - fingers crossed for me!

Get some zebras - they are crazy and climb everything! Giant canyons would sometimes climb the screens, but zebra make seem it like its a competitive sport!

Incredible! I think I’d stand out front all day long with my hands on my hips admiring it - for the rest of my days!

The level of detail is already incredible!

Still desperately searching for a male KB. One of my girls is laying her first (infertile) clutch right now... could be her last. They are 3 years old now. Please let me know if you come across these in your travels. The only place I can find them is from vendors with really, really bad...

Wow! Absolutely beautiful!

A hand with all 5 fingers intact! Congrats on your handsome boy. I am sure with time and patience he will warm up and relax a bit!
