i forgot to mention to leave the lid or whatever u have on the container to keep the humidity in. If u want get some plastic wrap over the container and stick a few toothpicks through the top, one possibly right next to the egg so when the baby frees its arms it can grab on to something to help...
let it be, most of the time they just sit there with their heads pokin out for as long as 4 hrs or so. Dont just stay there watching because if they see u most of the time they just end up playing dead for a while then it just gets annoying because he still wont want to get out... Leave it...
Well i managed to move whatever was stuck ( i guess ) by rubbing the gular region with a thumb tack ( the rounded edge) for about an hour+ and now hes doing fine... havnt seen him gasp since
The other two eggs hatched today :)
Also, one of the chams that hatched yesterday almost died today. Ive asked this before on this forum but i never got an answer. The baby's neck swells up and starts inhaling and exhaling profusely. He then opens up his mouth wide and sticks his...
One of my pygmy cham clutches started hatching... even they know not to wear white after labor day :D ...I had 2 of 4 hatch so far from a clutch made from retained sperm. Total incubation time was 80 days. Here are a few pics
Sorry if any of them came out all blurry but...
Are the first two pics of the same one? if so then his right eye looks a bit more normal and hes just got it closed... i was just getting a little worried that in this picture his eye lid seemed like it might have been sealed shut from the start... or just somthing doesnt look right
O...
I dunno.. that eye looks pretty FUBAR... is it both eyes tho because that eye looks to be the one in the first few pics but in the last picture of ur first post that eye looks like it wont even open. I think a call to the vet is in order... Your other little one is a looker tho =) ... shall...
is there something wrong with the one in the last pics eye or is it just the camera or something? actually both eyes... i normally take black arms and white body to be a stressed color
theres a firmware update 3.0 thats coming out and its supposedly going to be really big. I read somewhere that sony recently found a way to emulate ps2 games without the hardware of older PS3 systems and they could easily apply this in a firmware update... Im hoping its in firmware 3.0 :D but...
If you still had the female you could have checked to see if she still had eggs. How long have you had her? was she WC? Do you have more than one in the enclosure? If she was CB and hasnt mated before then I wouldnt worry about checking for eggs. If you wanted to you can just leave any eggs in...
It still has not been determined whether pygmy chameleons actually use UVB. However, most people will tell you that they still use UVB lighting since it's what they get in nature and that it benefits the live plants in the enclosure. I use UVB tubes on my crew, but not on hatchlings.
