Bumps on chameleon eggs.

[Jewelschameleons]

There's these tiny bumps on all the eggs. Like little snowflakes all over every egg. Anyone know what could of caused this? They were just laid yesterday.

You seem to be having a lot of issues with eggs...are they all from the same clutch? In the same container?

Are they all veiled eggs?

Lol. They're a brand new clutch. Just laid yesterday. Panther chameleon eggs.

I had a feeling they were Panther eggs....Panther eggs do get marks/lines on them, but it's the first time I've seen bumps like that.

They look like good eggs to me though.

What happened with the other eggs in your threads?

 

[Jewelschameleons]

I've tried searching all over online couldn't find any answers. I hope so. They're pretty white.

Could it be some sort of supplementation issue?

Here's something that looks similar in chicken eggs...

Oh okay. Awesome info. Thank you.

My clutch before this wasn't bumpy. I lightly dust with calcium & bee pollen every feeding except black soldier Flys, then low vitD once a week since it's low D.

I seem to recall seeing snowflake patterns like that on eggs in a Snake Discovery (I think it was them) video a while back.

Still waiting on them. Its been just over 7months now.

Just hope it's just the shell & that the babies will be alright.

What is too hot to incubate eggs at? I don't have Central air. & It's been warming up here. I used my infrared temp gun & where I keep my eggs says 80 degrees. I have a couple window air conditioners but that's not helping where they are at.

 

[kinyonga]

It depends on the species....but there are also consequences to the temperature being too hot.

For example...
"The highest incubation temperatures were disruptive to development; eggs had high mortality, developmental rate was low, and hatchlings grew slowly"...

Veiled & panther. My veiled eggs were at 68 for 5 months then between 72/74. But now with this surge in heat they were at 80. I found on spot under my desk on the floor. Said 74 degrees. So I'm keeping them there now. Hope no more we're harmed. I'm going to have to just get an incubator. Thank u for all that info. They shouldn't have too much longer but my panther eggs are only a couple days old.

So I now I'm probably not supposed to... My egg has been sweating going on day 3. & Has shrunk. Have 2 others starting to sweat. Going on 8 months. So this should be hatch time. Ok so I candled the 1st egg that started sweating 3 days ago & it looks like there is blood in the egg. Is that normal? It's not on the outside of the egg, in the inside.

 

[Jewelschameleons]

Ok so I have 1 baby with it's head sticking out of the shell. So I decided to help the first baby out since he never cut his shell. & It was stiff. Not alive. I kind of figured something wasn't right. Now with this other 1 that has it's head out. How long do they sit like that? & It seems his eye lids are still kind of transparent.

 

[kinyonga]

They can sit like that for a couple of days...they're usually absorbing the remaining yolk. You don't want to keep taking the lid off the container because the shell will/may dry out and the baby won't be able to getbout.

Ok. How often should I check? & Won't it roll the other egg crawling around? When I should I move it into the enclosure. I am so excited. 8months is a long wait.
