17 Carpet Chameleon Eggs!

[KShook]

My Carpet Chameleon Layerd her 17 Eggs!!!!


I WOULD POST PICS BUT I DONT KNOW HOW!

 

[Chase]

Wow! Thats amazing!! Is she a Lat. Lat, or Lat. Major.?

 

[KShook]

She's a Lat! I'm so excited I want to see the babies now! lol, But there due to hatch around July or August! I have Pictures of her in my Profile! Check them out!

 

[Chase]

Do you have a male that bred her? I didn't see a male in your album. Also, what are you incubating them at?

 

[KShook]

oops!! Okay I just put him in there! The Incubating Temp. is at 75 and drops about 5 degrees at night.

 

[Chase]

How old are your Carpets?

 

[KShook]

We acutally just got them a couple months ago, they were both imported and she was already Prego. So I'm not sure of their ages?! But for being WC there both very tame! They are champs at eating! There nice and healthy!

 

[Chase]

Thats good! So, the male probably isn't the dad? How sad, he doesn't have offspring now

 

[KShook]

You think so!? They said they brought them in together..?!

 

[Chase]

It's a possibility. If she came in Pregnant, and they were never together until you bought them, the father could still be in the Wild. Who did you buy these guys from?

 

[Sancho]

We got them from a pet store that we go to in our town, they took really good car of them, they were only there for a few days.

 

[haleybobl]

Do you know for a fact that there is a possibility that they are fertile?

 

[Chase]

Oh. Possibly then. You could check the color, keep them incubating though, because they may be fertile, but look infertile.

 

[KShook]

Okay Thanks TBS! I'll check that out next time I do a Thread! Nice Panther!

 

[KShook]

They have been incubating for about a week now, there all nice and firm, none of them have shrunken up of shriveled up yet...I'm pretty sure there fertile.

 

[Chase]

Possibly fertile, sometimes, they can stay for a while, but just watch them.

 

[reyesjoshuacruz]

can be too sure

these may be a retained clutch. often times by the time the chameleon gets to you it is a double clutch from retained ummm errr ummm spegg ( sperm/eggs )

(IE: mate male to female one time, she lays eggs, never mates again, but lays a second clutch of eggs. this second clutch could be fertile or infertile, could be both.)

that coupled with all the stress results in a bad clutch ( most of the time )

also this is a semi difficult species to incubate, not just a set and forget incubation.

do you think she was already starting to develop the eggs before you got her?

have you incubated eggs before?

 

[KShook]

Yeah, I'll check them every week form here on out, but there looking good so far! There so Tiny I cant beileve that a little chameleon's going come out of such a little egg!

 

[KShook]

Oh yeah the egg's were probably fully developed when we got her!I've been checking the temp. frequently to mek sure it's set where it needs to be. Durning the day it's 75 at night it's about 70.
