Attention all SEASONED Panther breeders! Question

[Nicodemayo]

Just wondering what the LONGEST incubation time you have ever experienced is. Reason I ask is i have few eggs from a Nosy Be clutch i received from John and Cyndi and the eggs are well over 14 month and after briefly candling, no vascularization is visible. The are still perfectly white and shaped. Curious to hear of the longest clutch you have had and successfully hatched out.

Hey Nic,
15 months I have had them hatch out. Not all of them made it.
Did you get the eggs from someone? Do you know temps and conditions before you received them?

 

[Nicodemayo]

I received these from John and Cyndi when they handed the company over to me. I dont know any exact temps but these eggs were housed in the same area as the ambilobe eggs. Could it be the fertility of the male or female or that these eggs just never broke out of diapause?

 

[Chuck G]

Could be,but my experience with eggs taking too long is they were exposed to temps usually too cool for too long. Those usually don't hatch out.
All you can do is keep your fingers crossed at this point. Good luck!

Im not gonna put to much hope into them. The temps they were exposed to were the same as ambilobe eggs, which numerous clutches have hatched under those conditions. We'll see what they do! As you know, patience is golden with chameleons!

One more thing I have noticed is some of the rarer locales,Nosy Be,Nosy Mitsios,Ankaramy's are a little different when it comes to hatching times and variations. I am waiting on the Nosy Faly's as we speak.

I knew some locales prefer colder temps but i didn't think the nosy be's fell under that category. I have a couple of ankaramy clutches that i am keeping at much cooler temps, 71 max in the day and down to about 67 at night.

I don't throw any eggs out until they are definitely no good.

 

[Nicodemayo]

No way i am either!

18 months (Diegos). The babies were large (for pardalis) and fared very well.
