Hi, what's the longest time veiled cham eggs can go before hatching? Mine are 7 months old now, still pearly white, they are definitely fertile. The tempertaure dropped a few nights in a row down to 67/68 and I've since set them up in an incubator but I don't think it did them any harm as they...

My female Yemen died today, I'm very sad. I've had her for about 3 years. It's amazing how attached I got to her (though obviously they don't have the capacity to become 'attached' to a human...or another chameleon) but she was very tolerant of me and seemed to not be in any way worried about...

I have experience breeding Yemens, and would very much like to move to panthers but have no experience there. Having kept Yemens for a long time I know exactly what mood they are in from their colors and also their breeding cycle. My question is, are panthers and yemens similar in their...

A question that has puzzled me, eggs obviously need to be kept the right way up so that the embryo doesn't drown, but do they have to be placed EXACTLY in the same position they were laid OR is it that - as long as they are roughly facing the same way up it's ok

My yemen female layed 57 eggs almost exactly two months ago. Since then however she has not once been receptive to the male (they are not housed together). She flashes the sual black with turquoise spots and gapes. What is the normal period for becoming receptive again after laying in Yemens?

I also have a clutch of carpet eggs that I kept in moss. The shells of the eggs developed a few brown blotches underneath and tiny black spots here and there over the surfaces of the shell. I thought they were almost certainly duds but I kept them anyway just in case. Anyway, I had a look...

Hi, another question about yemen eggs I'm afraid.... I have a clutch of 56 eggs, they are now over a month old, they are all plump and white (though all covered in a lightdusting of sand and soil). I took a couple out a few days ago to have a look at them under a pen light, at the moment...

Can anyone tell me what 'colour' eggs should look if they are fertile in the early stages (or perhaps an easier question....what colour they should be if they are going bad). With some species of reptile they start out a slightly pinky color then turn a more pearly color as they develope, I...

Hi, I put a dot of ink on each egg for my yemen female to so as to know they were the right way up. It was a black ink piot pen. I was thinking afterwards, was this a bad idea? Could the ink go through the egg and cause damage?

Hi, I have had a sick yemen male chameleon for about a year now, I rescued him from a pet shop (he looked dead when I found him and asked them if I could have him and see if I could get him back on his feet). I did. Anyway about 6 months ago he developed a swollen casque and swollen eyes, I...

I bought a large bag of Vermiculite but the chunks are large(ish), I've crushed it down as much as possible, does it matter how corse the lumps are for egg incubation?

Quick question, I looked in today and my Yemen cham who has been gravid with eggs for a few weeks, was digging a hole. The question is how long do they generally spend digging and is this because she is definitely going to lay? I'm expecting when I get home tonight that she will have layed...

My yemen is just about fit to burst, she is massively barrel-shaped, and displaying the right gravid colors. She was with the male for 2 visits and he definitely connected with her but I'm not sure for how long (I think it was at least 5-10 minutes). My question is, what is the...

Does anyone have any particularly good tips for keeping wild-caught Furcifer Lateralis (mino carpets). My new aquisitions are very very timid indeed, I was told they were CB but I'm not at all convinced. I have followed all major guidlines, kept apart, screen cages, lots of plants, lots of...

I had amazing luck today, I ordered a pair of carpet chameleons which arrived this morning by special courier. I opened the box and the female was surrounded by no less than 16 eggs! All in tact and can only have been laid within the last 12 hours (sometime). So I've put them in damp moss...

Can anyone who has had similar experience tell me either what I'm doing wrong OR what is happening? My female Yemen is in very good health, she is about 18 months old now, has mated with a male about 3 months younger than her (and has done for a long time). She allows him to mate during...

Dear People, Can anyone help, my male Yemens chameleon has developed a strange thing, his eyes bulge out on stalks when he eats?! They go puffy and a red tissue covers the eyes, they return to normal after a time. The picture hopefully show it to some degree. What is it? I'm sure this is...

Hi, I posted this elsewhere but I think it's no very visible so here it is here instead. I'm very keen on carpets, there's a CB female for sale in a shop near where I live and I know someone else that keeps Major's but I don't know if the shop female is Major or Minor....?! Anyway, that's a...

Hi guy's/Gals, I'm new to this site (and breeding chams), I have a 7 month old female Veiled chameleon and a 5 month old male. The male is about 20/30% smaller than the female, I put the 2 together about 10 days ago and he was on her like a shot. Every time I looked at them 'at it', he...
