Egg Size Comparison Photo...Very Interesting.

[FL Chams]

I took this photo today to show the size range of eggs from different chameleon species. Helps to give perspective on how they vary. Its pretty interesting to see eggs from that many different species next to each other.

Top row from left to right: US Quarter, Meller's (Ch. (T.) melleri), Veiled (Ch. (Ch.) calyptratus), Usambara Three-horned (Ch. (T.) deremensis)
Bottom row from left to right: Panther (F. pardalis), Standard Fischer's (K. multituberculata), Dwarf Fischer's (K. tavetana), Carpet (F. l. lateralis), Bearded Pygmy (Ri. brevicaudatus)

wow thats awesome

 

[SoCaliSon]

Wow..Wish I had such a wide variety of eggs to show off... Nice ... Thanks!

Great info.

Thanks, Mike. I have never seen such a breakdown in size before.
How long have you been incubating the Deremensis eggs? My male gets dark lips around the female, but she only spots up at this point at his advances.
That stops him.

Very cool Mike!

 

[Kat77]

WOW. That is really cool! Thanks for sharing! It's funny how the Meller's egg looks HUGE in comparison even though really it's teeny!

Great photo Mike!
How long have each of them been incubating at the time the photo was taken?

I didnt know panther eggs were THAT small!

 

[Dylan Dutz]

WOW! Panthers are so tiny, veileds are about twice the size as them!

Nice

I think that different time of hatching can show different size.
6 months old eggs of panther have the same size with the eggs has just been laied by vetiled .

clutch size also control the size of eggs.
Are they all fertile?

 

[kinyonga]

hey all look fertile to me.

Great pic! It's unusual for most of us to have such a variety, all incubating concurrently. Nice to see it actually done!

panther eggs

I never knew how small they were until today. My panther Rachel just laid 20 that are less than half the size of the veiled eggs.
