Hello. We are breeders of Rhacodactylus and came into the posession of 14 Fischer's Chameleon eggs. The eggs came to us within hour of laying and were immedietly placed into an appropriate incubator. We have been incubating them since mid November 2006 and understand that it can take upwards of 11 months to hatch, but specifics have been vague. The eggs appear perfect, have increased dramatically in size, glow a soft pink when candled and show sighns of veins. All these things are indicative of life in Rhacodactylus eggs and all species we have dealt with, however we are not seeing any developing embrio upon candling. My question is if this is unusual. We plan to continue incubation untill obvious egg death has occured, but we are simply not experienced enough with Chameleon eggs to determine if this is a natural development process. Does this species take this long to begin embrio developement? Any input would be appreciated.
