Also, eggs are laid in a hole in the ground and buried by the female. They dig out when they hatch…so…they are in complete darkness the whole time they are incubating. It only makes sense to me that there should be no light during incubation. No???

Thanks Jeremy! Been waiting on this day for about.. 15 years since I had my first Kinyongia Multitubularculata. Very excited to finally be to this point and giving it a run. Especially when theirs virtually no Kinyongia being bred in the US. I’ll be back on the thread in a few weeks for an...

...However as far as I remember it was the same "box in a closet with a thermometer to check it from time to time" method most people used. If I recall correctly I even put half of a batch in an incubator with cooling and heating regulation, and even those did not hatch synchronized amongs...

The way around that is to have different species. ;) My girl panther is Nosy Be and my boys are Ambilobe. I do have a male and female veiled, but I would never put Stella thru that. (Her one and only love was Hammlet and he’s passed)

What species? Panther? What’s the incubation temperature you’re using? Is the egg being kept in the dark?

This is a great study/PDF about chameleon egg incubation. Thanks for posting. Best Regards Jeremy A. Rich

I recommend moving the newly laid eggs into incubation containers ASAP! You do not want to move or over handle developing eggs. Best Regards Jeremy A. Rich

Hey Bob, I still have 3 males I produced but no females. I just had a clutch that went full term but failed to hatch. I have two more clutches incubating but I don’t know if they’re viable. I think I’m done with them. I will probably sell at least two of the males I have. I need to make room for...

Where do you keep the container to incubate the egg? How often have you taken the lid off the container in the last few days…or has it been left on? Is the container kept in the dark to incubate the egg?

I can understand the appeal. It's like gambling for lizard people. It would take a lot of research, both for the incubation and the rearing of hatchlings, as well as acceptance that it can indeed go wrong for the amount of money you pay. But at the same time...taking care of your own cham from...

Thank you! Can you see what times you incubated at, and how long gestation was? I’m at about 38 days, I’m expecting 45-55 for gestation, and 5-7 months for hatching. Yes I will keep ya in mind! At this point, theirs enough interest, including you that probably all of them are spoken for which...

“Regarding the causes of twinning, scientific articles on wild and captive cases hypothesise aberrant incubation conditions, such as atypical temperatures and humidity, infections, inbreeding or genetic mutations (especially in conjoined twins).”...

Well, I have to share this incredible story. I found a baby panther chameleon on the floor of my reptile room today. At first, I was completely puzzled as I had no idea how it got there. All of my chameleon eggs are currently incubating in the main house, far away from the reptile room. Then...

Just assumed they are fertile since you’re incubating them…was she mated???

Regarding desynchronized hatching…I have a few thoughts on it..but not much. In the wild, all the eggs are laid in a “pile” in a hole in the ground…so they are touching and able to communicate with each other. In captivity, we lay them in rows, spread apart somewhat…so they don’t have the...

“ Colder-incubated eggs exhibited a longer incubation period, but produced larger faster-growing hatchlings. Incubation treatment also affected a chameleon's activity level and its unique foraging tactics. Cold-incubated animals were more sedentary, caught prey faster, and extended their tongues...

The egg is sometimes in the dark, yes it's panther. It's being kept at around 72.

WOW! Amazing! Good thing you found him! Total little cutie too with a perfect name. 🤗💗

“Cold-incubated animals were more sedentary, caught prey faster, and extended their tongues farther to reach prey than did their warm-incubated counterparts. Thus, the fitness costs of low temperatures in the nest (slow development, and thus late hatching) may be offset by incubation-derived...
