Congrats on finding this species! It's one I've always wanted to try as well but I've only known of a couple instances of them being imported to the US in the last 20 years. Did you get a female also or was it only males imported, again?

Great video, too. I'd heard they were super aggressive and seeing is believing!

At the moment I have just this male, a very good friend has a pair too. Hopefully he can breed them

LOL!!! I love it! Just something about those pissy chams I like. I think Mega Bitch, my CH K. tavetana girl, might give him a run for his money

 

[eisentrauti]

She could try it

Owenii is a cham ive always wanted to work with, lucky you! Why dont they get imported to the US, we have pfefferi coming in but no oweni.

Oweni is very interesting species

Yes, well they do look interesting. Cleaning his cage must be fun. Also where is Springfield? I can't find one in Germany?

He just looks great, I saw him on the fair and I was jealous.
It was really an amazing animal to see and the behavior is very interesting.
Lett us hope that your friend will breed with them.

Thanks Tom. Yes I hope they will made it in captivity. My male acclimatised relatively good in here and he has gained a bit on the tail.
