This can be too long or complicated of a treat, sorry. I am confused and not a native english speaker. :embressment:
Well… I could not find any DETAILED OR EXACT answer or explanation for many questions. Mostly people just generalise or say their "opinion" when they answer these questions or they just say what they heard from someone.
So, do anyone know the detailed/exact answers to my questions (preferably with an explanation or link to an article with the explanation)?
1- Do turning chameleon eggs harm the embrio/fetus in any period of incubation?
2- Do chameleon eggs have airsack? If yes, is it visible? When does it get build? Is it fixed in place?
3- Do chameleon egg need to be laid horizontal or can the fetus still perfectly develop when the egg is 90 degrees vertical?
4- Does the vibration of long time effect fetus? I mean, is a car trip for hours dangereus for the healt of fetus? (Maybe vibration can cause developemant of bubbles in its blood and bubbles will block veins?)
5- Does rare temperature changes of like 2-4 celcius degrees for just a couple hours cause fetuses/embrios metabolizm to fasten or slow down? Would such rare but big changes harm the fetus/embrio or cause it to hatch sooner or later than it was gonna be with perfectly fixed temperature?
Honestly, I just incubated one cluch of chameleons in my life and right now 2th clutch is in the incubator (6th month of incubation). Because of my lack of experience and knowledge I wanted to ask those questions, but even with so few experience I think people are wrong???
Every sinle egg of mine hatched without problem. I had 3-4 eggs turned and an egg fell wooden ground from 3-4 feet height (while eggs were 3-6 months incubated). My incubation temperatures dropped from 22 celcius to 18 celcius and went from 24 celcius to 27 celcius for 1-4 hours or maybe more for once.
With the 2th clutch I have egg which are positioned like 60 degrees vertically with fetus inside, but one of them (the biggest egg) is 90 degrees vertical and does not even have a single vein in it. It also has a big weird airsack-ish empty looking part on top. I don't know whats up with that one.
There were 2 eggs which were also veinless in first clutch until the 5-6th month though. So, I think that 90 degrees vertical one can still be alive or maybe it is doomed because of its vertical position?
Note: 2th clutch has 15 eggs, they are incubated for 6 months now. 9 of them has veins and fetuses visible and 6 of them are just yellowish empty looking (including 90 degrees vertical one).
