Gravid jackson chameleon passed away

[prismatic_chams]

I got a Jackson chameleon pair from a local friend (wild caught) , and she died suddenly out of no where , I have years of experience so I know it comes with getting wild caught animals but the thing is she was gravid with babies, I didn’t know how far along she was so I performed a C-section on her to try to save the babies , I got the yolk sacks out and there’s 22 of them , they are definitely not finished developing yet but seem to still be alive , my question is that is there some way I can keep them developing? Or is there no way at all to save them ?

Oh dear! @JacksJill may know if there’s any way.

I can’t really give you an answer…but how are you planning on keeping them going?

One comment too…they will lack the protective barrier that eggs have that would protect them from bacteria, etc I would think.

Interesting situation…and nobody would know what would happen unless they had tried it.

Photo please.

If they aren't fully developed I don't know of any way they can survive without her. I'm sorry for your loss.
