Rhampholeon Kerstenii caresheet

[RDexotics]

Anyone know a good caresheet on these guys? I'm having a hard time finding much info.

I can look in my stump-tailed book tonight, but I am pretty sure the husbandry is very similar to the other Rhampholeon species. Do you actually have kerstenii now? Where did you or where are you getting them from?

Thanks I'd appreciate that. I've kept and bred R. Brevs before.
I don't have any Kerstenii yet. I know someone who is supposed to be getting some shipped in.

Yeah, the best site would probably www.adcham.com, or the "Stump-Tailed Chameleons" book by Petr Necas & Wolfgang Schmidt. It's an AWESOME book.

I will have to post more info a bit later, gotta find my book :P.

Well if you can share that source that would be great, if not no big deal. The book I am referring to is the same as what vipervenom pointed out.

Here is what the Necas/Schmidt book says about them …

Apparently this species lives in tree savannahs (pocketed areas that are humid/have water and have trees/shrubs) and also coastal lowlands around evergreen forest edges. Native habitat temps range from 73-77F with a relative humidity over 80%. It suggested to keep the temps around 77F with a 20 degree drop at night. Should be misted heavily once a day preferably in the morning - 14 hour light cycle too. Food is the same as the brevs – pretty much anything small. One thing I found interesting is that the book says they are quite active and may roam about the terrarium during the day searching for food.
