So, I checked on the eggs on my lunch break and nothing has changed. How long does it take for them to sweat/shrivel and hatch.?

Thanks all very much! I have a few questions about when they hatch.

1. How long should they stay in the incubator before being moved into the bins?

I did not take my babies out as soon as they hatched. I left them in and they walked around and woke up the other babies. Three hatched one day and all the rest the next.

2. What should the basking temps be?

Babies highest temps should be 80. I used a double fixture and has a UVB in one side and a regular bulb in the other and that kept the temps at 80. I also kept the light up high off the baby bins.

3. Should they get the UVB on right away?

Put the UVB light on them just as soon as you take them out of the bins.

4. How long should the lights be on?

Just like an adult....about 12 on and 12 off.

5. How should I supplement just like the other Chameleons?

I only dusted at the first feeding of each day. I dusted with plain calcium everyday and calcium with D3 twice a month and herptivite about every 3 weeks.

6. How much and how often should I feed?

I fed 3 times a day until about 2 months old and then went to twice a day.

7. What all can I feed them besides FF's and pinheads?

Newly hatched mantis as Stephan said and after a few weeks I fed tiny baby roaches and then house flies.

8. Any advice or extras? :3

Thanks for everything! I am feeling like a noob again! :O I'm a bit nervous and scared! haha.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jann.
How about sweating? how long does that last? It's only a part of the egg, but you can see it traveling through the egg. It's getting darker is if it was a paper getting wet.

The rest are dented. :3
