[Klemins]

Very nice! Have you hatched any babies? I'd love to try this species but the difficulty in obtaining males has made me hesitant.

 

[Cainschams]

I am soooo jealous!!!

They look great!!!!! One of the species I am dying to work with. Your pictures and animals are just amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful chams. K. tenuis has always been a favorite of mine. Males were always so hard to get when I kept them though. They look really good.

i've never see them!! the changing of colours of your female are great!!

 

[Joery]

@ Chris: They are indeed a very nice species. Luckily i have 2 males, one is with a very good belgian friend and the otherone is with my own females, i'm hoping to hatch some babies soon. Their coloration in natural sunlight is stunning and impossible to get with any artifical light bulb.

They look very nice!
And they are doing very good.

And to answer on Klemins question...
Yes we have hatched three juveniles from this species!
And there is more to hatch...

Amazing!!! Congratulations. They look like healthy little boogers May I ask about your incubation methods?

The incubation method which was used is keeping them on room temperature, with a slight drop at night till 17-18°C. The eggs were incubated in very moist vermiculite (a bit too moist i noticed afterwards which resulted in premature rupture of a few eggs), so my other eggs are now incubated in moist, but not wet vermiculite to prevent this. The reason i chose very moist vermiculite was because the females (n = 5) always dig their holes and deposite their eggs in very moist soil,

Best regards

Thanks for the incubation info. How are the young ones doing now?

have you noticed how long it takes the females to become receptive again after laying?
