I have never candled them as I never wanted to disturb them, but most of them (if not all) have been growing in size and haven't grown mold.
Again, they're about 7 months old right now, so I guess if they were dead it would have been visible a while ago.. at least that's what happened with the...
Today I found some more worms on the isolated eggs. Looks like one of them is not going to make it, the other ones look fine for now.
The eggs in the other container all look fine, no signs of worms so far. I don't know if it's thanks to the vermiculite or if I just saved them in time before...
I've been banned at my first post and the mod started arguing with me.. that's just a place for people to feel like they know better than you, and if you actually know something, they kick you out.
I inspected and moved almost all the eggs in a different container and I've used vermiculite instead, just to see if the worms happen to survive in it as well. I left 4 eggs in the previous container because I saw a worm on them. I hope I haven't transferred any worm in the new one.
I'll keep...
Well, turns out that these worms are actually eating the egg or something. I think I've seen a couple more worms on another egg, so I'm gonna inspect them all and see what I can do..
This is the container, the one with these worms is the top left one.
They've been incubating since January and I've never noticed anything on them until today. I'm storing them in a closet away from plants and soil, adding distilled water in the perlite every 2 weeks or when the substrate is...
Hey everyone! It's almost time for my eggs to hatch so I've been checking them often lately, today I found something a bit concerning though.
One of the 17 eggs in this container has white worms (looking like parasites) crawling on it. The other ones don't. Anybody knows what it is? Should I...
I've used the blink mini, very cheap but functional, the con is that you only have 1 month free to detect movement and data storage. After that its $3/month for basic and $10/month for premium.
Hey guys!
As stated in the title, I'm getting 2 Brookesias tomorrow, they're both WC purchased from Chameleon Cans.
I will be housing them in the same tank, split in 2 with a sheet of coroplast.
Unfortunately the enclosure is not 100% ready yet, due to a missing piece in the MistKing, but...
I know that some of us are afraid of feeding bees to our chams because of the stinger, some of you take the stinger off and some others just feed them as they are..
I've been working with bees for a while now and there's actually a way of making them produce drones (males, without a stinger)...
I'm sorry, let me phrase it better: It won't change the incubation period and definitely won't increase the chances of hatching, it just makes them communicate when it's time to get out of the egg. I guess you can consider it "speeding up the process" but only for the slower ones
I asked this exact question to Bill Strand. He told me that chameleons in the wild don't need to dig so deep as they do in captivity to feel safe, so they usually lay in 1 or 2 inches underground and the babies are able to dig their way out when they hatch.. also the soil stays relatively soft...
