So, my female chameleon just laid some eggs. She has not been with a male since I've had her (over a year). So, my question is: Will these eggs hatch and should be incubated, or do they need to be fertilized to hatch?
Thanks in advance.
how can embryos be produced without sperm? hehehe honest question but a silly one. nah im just kidden, its forum humor they do need to be fertile, the only way i would find it worth incubating without knowing if shes bred or not would be if you got her at a petstore or an unknown supplier that could have housed the chameleons together. or if she was bought gravid.
Actually, some animals are capable of producing fertilized eggs without mating. It's called parthenogenesis. The babies end up being genetic copies of the mother. I remember hearing that there is speculation that a species of pygmy chameleon might be capable of parthenogenesis, but I don't remember which one.how can embryos be produced without sperm? hehehe honest question but a silly one. nah im just kidden, its forum humor they do need to be fertile, the only way i would find it worth incubating without knowing if shes bred or not would be if you got her at a petstore or an unknown supplier that could have housed the chameleons together. or if she was bought gravid.
