I took the baby right out as it looked very stressed in the tub. The moment it was taken out it brightened up and started running around so I put it in the Exoterra. (Please excuse me referring to him/her as it, I am unsure what sex it is as the moment although I have a suspicion it's a girl). I...

Good morning! So, I decided to take a local cham breeders advice and give it a little help out of the egg. I pinched the bottom so her/his head was out of the egg (as there was still no signs it could get out) and it literally woke up within minutes. How long do I leave the little guy in the...

No that is the scar from where that abscess was removed from his chin last week. He has some stitches. I have been given Meloxidyl but I believe that is just an anti-inflammatory. I have given him a good misting around the eye and he's drunk a lot of water now so he may have been a bit...

Something like this is what you need. You can make them yourself! It comes with instructions too and is definitely the cheapest option. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fruit-Fly-Culture-Kits-/121296603901?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item1c3dd74afd

A new Daddy you mean. :) I really hope he/she makes an appearance soon. I'm excited. I hope everything goes ok.

My male Yemen has been keeping his eye closed today and on closer inspection it would seem that his eye is swollen and dark underneath too. He has just had an operation to remove a cyst from his face so not sure whether this is related. It is a bank holiday here at the moment so won't be able to...

So, I woke up to this this morning.. Does this all look normal?

Thanks for the advice. I am happy to be patient, it's just easy to panic as I don't want to lose any if I can prevent it. Thanks for the advice.

When should I know to try this? I don't know when I should try and cut the egg open (as in a last resort). Thanks!

Still nothing as of yet.. The Eggs is still sweating a little bit, but not as much as before and the shell has gone a bit translucent.. Is this normal?

Another question for anyone who may help. How long do/can the eggs sweat for? It's been sweating for about 48 hours now. Is that normal?

Definitely. This was 2 years ago (when I was less experienced) and although the bulb was in a place I considered too hard to get to, he had somehow managed to burn himself. I was using the 100watt mercury vapor UV/Heat combi bulbs at the time (it gets cold in the UK) but since I have switched to...

Cool. Thanks for the advice! It is literally almost bang on 6 months so I will keep this thread update when I get any activity of note.

Even though this is a few years old, I thought it may be of use to people in the future. This ended up being a burn, and quite a big one at that. He lost a lot of his spikes but it otherwise happy and healthy. :)

That bump and coloration... I'm even more convinced that it's a male now (and I was 95% convinced before)..

Do the eggs usually go a bit dark before hatching? This one seems to be going slightly dull (as you can kind of see in the picture).

I'm going to say male too because of the enlarged base of the tail.

Hi! I am eagerly awaiting the hatching of my first ever clutch of Chameleon eggs and have noticed that one of the eggs is going ever so slightly translucent in one small area and has developed small water droplets on a side of it. Here is a picture. The eggs are only 6 months or so along...

I'm going to say male purely on the colouring and thickness of the tail.

Thanks for your replies. The chameleons are hidden from each other as I tape plastic sheets to the side of the vivariums to keep the humidity in and to hide them from each other. The temperature has increased slightly too so you may be correct with that. I usually keep the door open or closed...
