Hatching Veiled egg taken at c-section

Hello
Has anyone ever successfully hatched Chameleon eggs that were taken directly from the oviducts prior to laying from a chameleon? My female Veiled which was bred with my male required surgery after her third clutch when she became egg bound. I saved the eggs and only one has remained viable after 2 months. Candelling shows a small blood vessel within but very little development so I assume diapause and will wait it out for 8-12 months.
Thanks
 
Yes...i have done it. I'm not surprised that the eggs didn't remain viable. I think when they aren't laid they may be missing some protective coating. Did anybody them get a reddish "mold" on them? The ones that remain viable long enough will hatch and the babies can be normal.
 
Thanks. All but one shriveled up and developed mold. I also thought they required a protective mucus type coating such as bird eggs get in the uterine body before bring laid.
