CH Kinyongia tavetana update and a new guy!

[Cainschams]

Here are the babies at 5 months.

Female 1. She is a biatch and the biggest of the females. The two pics were taken about 10 seconds apart.

Female 2. She is also a biatch and the middle sized female. She shows lots of purples.

Female 3. She is the smallest and has been showing some awesome coloration!

I am sad to say I lost one female a few days ago because of an unknown reason. I thought it might be heat stress but after thinking about it I am doubting that. She was one of the biggest girls and none of the others were showing any kind of stress when I noticed her not looking good at all

The male is really starting to grow and shows some great coloration!

I also received a CH Kinyongia multituberculata a few days ago from Fabián. This little guy rocks and has some great coloration! He is still settling in but is doing so nicely. He was beside the door today at feeding time. As soon as I opened the door he came poking around the corner and to the outside of the cage. I fed him a few crix and snapped a couple quickies. He is shy but he will hand feed, just like the rest of my troop.

Thanks again Fabián!!!!!

Thanks Long and Fabián!

The little runt didnt seem too bothered by the trip when I got home from work to check him out, although he might have been from me showing all of my teeth to him

[Rocky]

Awesome chams!!!!

Also, Fabián, I think it is awesome that you are helping people in the states get species that we are not used to seeing!

 

[Cainschams]

Hahahah. I wasnt even born and raised in the state but I can still say it right. WTF is murland They are starting to get some size to them. Im not too worried that your lizard is bigger than mine They are growing at a good pace for me

Rocky, I think you have Fabián mixed up with someone else. The K. multituberculata is a pretty available species in the US. You hardly ever see CH specimen though!!!! Its great to be able to start out with captive animals and I am thrilled to get a chance to work with one even though he is the runt of his clutch. He still has all the character I expected from working with the tavs.

Captive Hatched!

But with no girlfriend still.

 

[dodolah]

Damn.. look at those muscles!
Juli, did you make him do weight lifting?

 

[Syn]

Did something happen to that little one's tail or am I just seeing it at an odd angle?

Very beautiful little ones.

 

[Cainschams]

Damn Juli, how much you feed that guy

Syn, I did notice that in the pic but it must be a wierd angle and or position of her tail. Thank you

 

[Julirs]

LOL-I love little Fisher arms! His back legs make him look like he has baggy pants and you are right-the pics make him look like he has little beefed up forearms!

I snapped a pic of the little runts cage. He seems to be enjoying every square inch of his palace

Fabián, I am in love with this little guy!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

Fabián, I am in love with this little guy!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Jared! That is twice the size of his original enclosure. And you're keeping him outside?! I'm glad you accepted him-- he's got a really beautiful color palette that I can't wait to see develop as he matures. Hope it sticks!

By the way, here he is when he was born: Western Usambara Two-horn Chameleon

Cheers!

Franklin-I assure you it is the picture-that animal is not fat at all. In fact he is the poorest eater in my entire collection. He just has alot of skin on his legs.

Thanks Benny and Amy (I think)!!!!

Fabián, I am glad you offered him to me You said he would probably enjoy some more room so I gave it to him! I just love how active the Kinyongia species I have are. He has NO problem at all finding his food in that enclosure.

I keep all my guys outside as long as its not going to be over 78-80 degrees. I know that is a little warm for them but they have plenty of shade and water to keep them cool. The animals and I have been enjoying this mild summer (in Maryland at least). I dont think its gotten over 90 only a couple times. The last few years its been nasty up here. Its nice for a change! Lets hope it stays that way.

His colors are awesome!! He is just glowing from being outside most of the time I have had him. I am hoping this gets him growing a little more. Ill try to get some pics as he settles in more but I hate to pester the little booger. As you know he is quite the shy little fella.

Sorry to double post.

Thanks Franklin!!!!!

Fabián, beautiful video!!! He looks a lot like a tavetana female in the video
