fertile eggs?

[geordiebreeder83]

My female chameleon has just laid 68 eggs,how long till I know if they are fertile? They are in incubator at 25c, and do I keep light on all the time in incubator? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You want to keep the eggs in a dark place so no light. You usually find infertile eggs will mold by about the two week mark but it can be longer.

How much are you feeding her and how often? that's a very large clutch.

She's has 1 size 5locust and couple crickets a day also eats greens.she laid 83 just after I got her,but she hadn't been mated.

Thanks Bradley,is that completely dark? And is the temp I've set to stay like that or turn down at night?

 

[camimom]

Temps need to remain the same night and day.

As for food, if you reduce that food intake to 3-5 bugs every other day to every two days, you can reduce her clutch size.

That's a lot of eggs and they take a toll on a female.

My female has only ever laid 38 eggs total.

Temperature can fluctuates couple/few degrees with no problem during incubation. They should be incubated in the dark.
