I have 49 veiled eggs they look fertile. If you want any, please let me know. Thanks

Looks good! If it starts to shrivel like a raisin, check the moisture (and add some water to the vermiculite). You can also raise the temp to 78-80deg if you want to speed up hatching

So in love with our little clutch of veiled chameleons, just hatched. Laid in January. Shipped from Iowa to the East Coast in March, incubated at 99% humidity and 78-84F in a home made incubator (old small cooler, aquarium heater, brick, water, Tupperware, thermometer, vermiculite). Many thanks...

Yes poor zim is in very rough shape— we just installed a generator and solar panels in my aunts house there because there’s no power anymore, food is very scarce. It was interesting when I went back in 1996 to teach high school, I had a pet chameleon for a while and the kids at the school...
