Agreed, the only time I personally have ever seen eggs sweat was just before they began hatching...If I am correct your eggs have been incubating nearly 6 months? You might have just triggered a premature hatch date...I have never had this happen to me, but I wouldnt get too down on yourself...

Your best bet might be to send an email to the Mistking guys, let them know what you are looking to set up..number of cages, arrangement, number of heads etc and they will tell you everything you will need...I think this is your best option, as you can ensure you only need to make 1 order to...

Oh DJ my response wasnt to you, it was to Swayne8998. I agree with you 2 months earlier is not the end of the world, it just isnt ideal in my opinion.

My arguement has stayed the same. I am against what I consider to be underage breeding. I'm not going to get into a side arguement, or pissing match with you. Yes I have bred chameleons, and many other reptiles as well. I also owned a pet store for 7 years. I also worked for a pet store for 4...

I just want to clarify, my arguement has nothing to do with morality, as I said I am speaking strictly on the physical ability to give birth. Yes a 6 month old chameleon can give birth, yes a 12yr old girl can give birth, but can we not all agree that both would be better off to wait until they...

I agree and disagree with you Yankfanthom, if the average age of a human woman is about 75 years old, and she has a baby at 15 years old, which is really looked down upon, she has lived approximately 20% of her life before giving birth, a chameleon with a lifespan of 5-6 years living 20% of...

Another affect of low humidity is very bad sheds.

I also like using the bag method, not only does it seem that the shaking in a bag is a little more cushioned as compared to a plastic cup, but as was already stated, I like to pull the corners tight and count out exactly how many feeders each one is receiving. I'm sure both methods could work...

I am not assuming that life span is the main objective. My assumption is that the health and well being of the chameleon is the most important thing to the majority of responsible owners. The toll pregnancy takes on a young female is far greater that the toll it takes on a full grown adult. I...

Yankfathom, I am not disputing whether a 6 month old chameleon is capable of breeding, as quite obviously many of them are. What I am saying is comparing life in the wild and life in captivity is like comparing apples to oranges. In the wild a 6 month of chameleon has the chance to escape an...

I don't know if this is a good option for you, but I know its quite common for people in the reptile world to use light boxes to take pictures of their collections, I believe this will eliminate the need for a camera with a flash...but I'm nowhere close to an expert in the field of photography...

Thank you for your input Rambully...its really annoying when I see a message like that from Chameleoman supporting underage breeding. But clearly ethics are not that important to them, as I've seen chameleoman selling 3 week old chams in the classifieds....I guess its hard to expect any other...

I stand by what I said, he claims he had a mix up and placed the young female in the wrong cage, only to then post again 13 minutes later asking how to guarantee that had mated. That to me is the sign of someone who did something that they thought was wrong, so they made up a story about it...

Well done! Keep us posted, and good luck with your hatch rate!

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but am I the only one on these forums that has an issue with the OP's first post? You claim that you accidently placed your very very young (9 & 10 month old) chameleons in the same cage and ask for advice. Then 13 minutes later you are asking for advice about...

In my opinion it is unnecessary to have your egg tubs floating in another tub of water. I am assuming that you are doing this to maintain your humidity, but if your mixture that your eggs are sitting in is correct, then your humidity levels should be good. Other than that your temperatures sound...

Its nice to see another Beijing member on these forums! Good luck with your eggs :D

In my opinion, if its not broken-don't fix it. You have to also consider the fact the when running a single incubator, there is the possibility of a malfunction resulting in several clutches of cooked eggs...in the closet, the chances of an extreme change in temperatures is very small, if not...

It really depends on the amount of eggs you will be incubating. However, have you considered just placing them inside a bedroom closet? Unless you have wild temperature swings, many people seem to use this method and have posted good results generally.

Is it just me or does a 150 watt bulb sound like it is way too strong?
