So among my chams i have two bearded pygmy chameleons (w/c) male and female, and a few months ago I noticed she was getting pretty pudgy. I was monitoring her watching for signs of digging or egg laying. But to my disappointment there was nothing. Then she looked back to normal a month or so later. So this morning i'm getting ready for work and i turned on everyones lights and began their morning showers. I go to mist down the pigs and i seen something on the leaf... which i momentarily though was a bug lol. I look closer and it was a baby! I started freaking out with joy and my boyfriend rushed over to bring me his large cricket keeper to put him in or now. It is the most adorable tiny little thing i've ever seen, we are on our way to pick up some flightless fruit flies for it. I did have ever have a question. I know pygmies will lay anywhere from 1 to 5 eggs in a clutch, but i do not want to disturb the soil incase there are any other eggs down there seeing as my viv is the perfect temp. But is it possible that there might be other eggs that are late bloomers? And if so how long could there possibly be between the hatchings? Because this little guy appeared this morning on the plants leaf with dirt all over him and i came home from work and i do not see any others
 
Congratulations! :)

Yes it is indeed very possible that you find more little guys in the next few days. Keep an eye on them! :) I don't know for how long it can take, but inside a week looks normal to me.

This same thing happened to me! I found two though...I would go out and buy some pin head crickets as well because my little babies didn't eat any of the flies so I got crickets today and they loved them!
