Don't panic, 11
Please if you can upload a photo of the male.
Sometimes chams grow at very different rates. I have one male at 4 months blew other male out of the game. My Memphis is a giant. He is only just 6 mo. old but huge.
Also WC means Wild caught / CH means hatched from wc parents...
Hi Flux,
Thanks for getting back into your thread.
I am the proud owner of 20 panther eggs as of yesterday.
If nothing else I strive to do things right the first time.
You seem to have had success ( plural) in not adding air holes to the containers. Makes sense since a buried clutch in nature...
Funny you mentioned diapause since I was just taking the time to go back and read some older posts on incubation temps.
Seems the ave. incubation temps for pardalis are around 75degrees F however some have said that a 3 month diapause of temps as low as 60 degrees F injected shortly after the...
Thanks NHenn, I'm excited. : )
Hey check out the thread I just bumped about incubation and see what you think of the Flux method. https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-best-incubator-51504/
I know you breed often. Is this what you do?
In looking around for proper incubation temps techniques etc, this caught my eye.
I noticed Flux DOES NOT put air holes in the containers.
Makes sense to me.
I now have 20 precious ambilobe eggs in my care. So I want to do this right.
Can experienced members throw their 2 cents into this so I...
Thanks Julia and Brad,
I did check in windows picture viewer and my photo showed size
of 1085 wide x 933 Height
I am assuming that that meets the size requirements. If not please let me know so I can change the way I take them.
Well I voted for her.
I love my females as much as I love my males.
They have subtle colors but just as nice.
I had someone here tell me that all females look the same.
Just not so. My nosy be female has really neat aqua shades around her cheeks and I have one ambilobe female that is one of the...
Thanks Bob,
I did go back to take that photo of the dented eggs, but they had no dents. I think the moisture from the substrate helped fix this.
I appreciate you letting me know.
Now I have the long wait : )
"aerial bomb" lol
Is that the new term?
So when your carpets laid in this manner did any of the eggs dry out because of not being under soil?
As you can see I think I got them in time. None looked shriveled before I moved them to the substrate container.
I guess the question is what would be a...
Didn't feel anymore eggs. Carefully worked my way across her lower abdomen and then back. I think she has laid them all. 20 if all are viable.
Thanks!
Hey do you know if an egg has a dent will it still survive?
I will try to take a photo of what I am speaking of. Shell is not cracked or open...
Good question. Maybe someone can chime in on that.
I like the photo of the female. It's about time we get a winner that shows the less flashy gender. They are beautiful too.
Thanks Olympia.
Tried to multi-quote but it didn't work.
Will take the advise on more eggs. As she is a really nice golden female from the Hunter line. I know she will make great chams and I want to make sure she is safe.
Thanks so much guys.
Olympia, I will take your today and try to feel if there are any more eggs. I don't want her to go egg bound.
NH, I think you both are right since she did dig several test holes but never laid in them. Perhaps too shallow as Olympia stated.
Really appreciate the insight!
My male Ki ( from crazyeyeschams ) and my female Glinda ( from Hunter lineage FLchams ) are mated. She was full of eggs you could see just by her size.
Laying bin has about 6" of organic playsand/ soil mix. I have kept it damp but not wet.
I also have a small plant growing in it and covered...
Thanks Little,
I'm with you on that roach thing. My son already freaks out when crickets get loose Don't think they would care for roaches.
Yeah maybe my blue boy is sneaky but so far she doesn't appear gravid. I.m just gonna leave her in there for a while. Maybe he'll get the idea over time...
Oliver has every mans dream - a harem
Hey little,
Sounds like you are trying hard to explain why you have females housed together.
I have two that have been together for over a year now. They don't fight they don't fuss and have their own habitat. Both plump and happy.
I also have a male that...
Check out the other thread up now" helping an aggressive cham"
We have been discussing how to help shy or aggressive chameleons get used to being handled.
Update on Ki my used to be- agressive Cham
He will allow me to pick him up with the gloved hand.
Will not allow bare hands. Still refuses to accept skin.
I can handle him as long as I have those gloves on. I put him outside in the free range area this way and also if I need to move him to...
