Has anyone had success with brooksia?

[Jwillchamel]

If so please tell me about your setup your temps and what to do i had 3 -2female 1 male and one of me females died tonight and im not sure why?

 

[Andee]

Was she older? Do you know how old she was when you got her?

What species of Brookesia?

 

[Andee]

Most come in already in adult age and if I am right they don't live that long? though I don't know if that is a positive thing... kinyonga? You might know better....

I haven't kept them yet, but I know they can be sensitive sometimes. And their care requirements can be relatively weird compared to even lesser known but larger species. Hopefully it was just old age if it's not I hope you get to the bottom of it soon >.<

And they are very hard to get i looked for 4 months before i found these and i had to get them in on an import they live about 2 yrs with good care is what i have read so far

 

[Jwillchamel]

What species of Brookesia?

Supers

 

[kinyonga]

I've never had supers...sorry. I've had similar species though.What were the symptoms before she died? Could she have been gravid? Did you touch her?

 

[Andee]

did you mean superciliaris? and just got auto corrected?

 

[Jwillchamel]

[Jwillchamel]

Yes

 

[Jwillchamel]

Brooksia superciliaris

 

[kinyonga]

How long did you have her before she died? Did you bump her cage?
They can play dead. What did you do with her body?
I've seen people through the body out only to go back and look later and it was gone.

 

[Jwillchamel]

No i have her cage away from all traffic i cover cage at bed time and i had her about 1 month

 

[kinyonga]

So you didn't bump/shake the cage taking the cover off??
What did you do with her body?

 

[Andee]

I am not sure who has experience with a lot of brookesia species.... but I will tag several members who have been active for a while and they might have some people on mine?

@jajeanpierre @jpowell86 @OldChamKeeper @Chris Anderson @Extensionofgreen @jannb

ugh I can't think of anyone else yet, but for anyone I tagged who responds, you may not have experience with these guys but do you know anyone who might?

Sadly I can't help any other way

 

[Jwillchamel]

Thank you so much

 

[Jwillchamel]

I still have it i found it about an hour ago when i got home i peeked in to check on them and saw her with her eyes open still

 

[Jwillchamel]

If i did shake the cage i didnt notice it and the other 2 are not showing any signs of discomfort
