sanitize constantly when you're handling them.
don't use tap water.
they need alot of moisture to hatch, and a temp between 77-85 degrees.
here is a good faq:

Well she has been in and out of her bin since yesterday, goes in and comes out after about 10 minutes several times. Still dark green, not sure what's going on, hasn't laid any more eggs.
Is this normal after they lay eggs or do they usually go back to normal afterwards? And by normal I mean...
Hey all :)
Is it possible for veiled chams to only deposit some of their eggs one day, and then deposit more a few days later?
My veiled just had her first clutch (yay!) and all went well, but today (2 days later) she is dark green (same color she was when she finished burying her eggs) and is...
Hmm my veiled was clinging/crawling toward his uvb light. When I moved his cage higher and added a branch toward the top he stopped doing this, perhaps a height issue? :)
Howdy :)
How is your cham doing today?
He could just have some debris in his eye, mistings would help. Are his other behaviors normal ? (eating, drinking, defecating, etc)
Aw poor thing. I know what you mean about supplementing! I worry as well with my own.
What a stressful time for both of you :( , you and Isis are in my thoughts! :) Hope all goes well.
My eyes jumped over it.
Have never seen this before.
Perhaps PM one of the many experienced cham vets on these forums (ferritinmyshoes and Dr O are two that come to mind).
Good luck.
DYIcages.com has some nicely made cages for a good price. (I just bought one at repticon :D )
But in any case I would not wait a month, alot can happen in that amount of time :) better safe now than sorry later as they say.
Best of luck! :)
Sadly their nails do not grow back :(
As far as I know it's from climbing around on the screen and are too heavy. Maybe give her more branches to roam around on?
Or there is some other cause though I would not know what.
Sounds okay to me. Husbandry seems okay. Might want to feed him more daily, since he is so young and still growing (10ish cricks).
:D
Panthers like the humidity, I don't think he has RI, but I'm sure someone with more RI experience will pop in with an opinion.
