No just me and my friend been talking about chameleons and how long they take to hatch cause i have oustalets chameleon eggs incubating and they take bout a year and we were just curious which hatched the fastest.

From the egg layers it's probably Furcifer labordi, from the livebearers a small Bradypodion species like setaroi

ok cool if anyone else has anymore info please let me know also how long do they take to incubate? cause i know most chameleons are about 7 months or longer?

I believe in general, the smaller the species of chameleon, the sooner they reach sexual maturity and the shorter the incubation time for the eggs. Smaller species also tend to lay clutches more often, but the clutches contain fewer eggs.

Pygmy (R. brevicaudatus) eggs can hatch in 45 days or so. But they only lay a few eggs at a time.
