Premature
I'm sorry to hear that.:(
I will say that I think lowering her food intake and heat may have caused your eggs to be weak. I don't personally agree as I feel the female needs as much nutrients and vitamins as possible in order to completely lay without retaining eggs or after...
Egg Laying...
Sorry, additional post!
I also did want to say that she doesn't always lay the first day we put her in the laying bin. Last clutch took her two days!
So, don't get discouraged! Keep working with her. Set her up with a few holes and then leave her alone!
Egg Laying...
There is a lot of info regarding the egg laying bin processes on the forums.
Now, what species of chameleon do you have? What are the dimensions on your first container?
I have a veiled chameleon and she did the exact same thing. I will say that it seems like they are...
Egg shipping....
Please understand that reptile/chameleon eggs should never be handled, let alone shipped!
I would have to assume that this person has infertile eggs or really doesn't know any better.
Feeders...
Fruit flies are best for at least the first few days... or tiny *tiny* crickets...
I breed my own crickets so I can get them tiny...;)
After the first two weeks or so, i think you are good with the pinhead size cricket.
After that I guess it really is somewhat up to just...
Denting?
I would say that the eggs that are denting are probably infertile.
I would save the dented eggs until they start molding. I have heard of dented eggs still hatching...none of mine dented :(
I would think that you will probably have some fertile eggs in the next clutch. Maybe...
Humidity?
I would think that panther eggs are similar ( i have veiled chameleons) and I kept mine in the incubator at about 75-80 temp F / 75-90 humidity. You want to remember to keep the humidity higher than lower...
Beautiful babies at 7.2 months!!
You may want to see if someone with...
Hatching now...
I also have veiled eggs currently hatching! So exciting. :D After 7 months, well worth the wait!
The first one came out Jan 28th and they have been coming out about 1 or 2 per day since. We actually have had 10 come out just today!
A total of 32 have hatched healthy and...
Reptibator
I have purchased the reptibator for my veiled eggs.
I will say that it was nice to not feel the need to worry so much. Where I live, the temperature can change drastically from day to day depending on the time of the year so we decided to try it. I had mine in separate containers...
How old are your chameleons? How long have you been leaving them together?
Mine only took a few minutes before they were...:D...about 15-20 minutes later they would be walking away from each other.
Just curious...
I do recommend that you try feeding your chameleon crickets...you just have to make sure they are the right size. I think the worms you are feeding are not 100% the best nutrition wise. Crickets can also free roam and make them work for their food.
I think you should switch to a screen cage...
