I’ve never had fertile eggs, but they look good to my inexperienced eyes. I would say to mark the tops of the eggs, so in case they move you’ll know their correct orientation.
The vermiculite is moist enough that you can make a small ball without dissolving. It is about 5 to 6 inches deep. I am incubating them in a closet that is always dark. It is a sliding closet.
Also what are some signs to look out for when they are close to hatching they were laid on 10/22/2024
Are they panthers chameleon eggs?
By now they should have grown quite a bit bigger. They will get marks on them that look less white we call windows, and only a few days before hatching, they will likely shrink and sweat. Then, the end of the egg should slit in an x shape and the babies head will poke out. It may lay there like that for a couple of days…or may come out shortly after it slits. It’s always best if it gets out on its own…shows that it is robust enough to survive.
Over all the years I hatched eggs I rarely had one that died in the egg. I did have to help one when the egg somehow broke open at the wrong end of the egg and the chameleon had to be helped so it could breath…came out butt first…so I called him Asend (ass end

How long do i leave them next to the egg after theh hatch, before i transfer them to a cage?
Don’t open the incubation container very often right now because you don’t want to dry out the environment or the egg shells, etc. will harden somewhat and make it more difficult for the baby to get out. You can take the babies out once they are free of the egg and walking around inside the container. Don’t pull on the baby if the “umbilical cord” is still attached…you don’t want to rip it off. If there’s an umbilical cord dragging along with the baby once it’s out of the egg, you don’t want it to get stuck to something making the baby unable to move without tugging on it.
Got it so then I will just keep the container cleaned like that and not bother with the hatchling at all , their is 3 eggs sweating right now
Ok so I am keeping it closed but I did see that the baby has the yolk sac stuck to it. Also another has emerged but only a tiny bit is showing, that one is not making an effort to get out
What should I do?
