Hey guys!!!
First post here as I am just getting started with this life changing journey of hopefully hatching 3 eggs. Purchased the three panther eggs for $150 as of two weeks ago and have been a stress case ever since...I feel like this is a home ec assignment for 30 year olds.
After doing research, building an incubator, and reading about generalized chameleon care my mind is slightly at ease.
My major concerns at this point are two things that have come to my attention as of the past couple of days.
#1) two of the three eggs appear to have hairline looking fractures running longways down them....is this normal?
#2) Will eggs sink or raise in the substrate that they are in? One appears to be sinking further into the substrate as when I bought it. One of the others appears to have swelled significantly to the point that it appears to be floating on the substrate.
After talking to the breeder I purchased from he mentioned cold won't harm the eggs which I called bs on hence the intervention of the incubator which will essentially be used during cold snaps this winter here in Northern California. With hatch dates of 2-15 on one and 3-1 for the other two I still have a journey ahead I know. At the same time should I be anticipating early babies?
