Input on purchasing chameleon egg

[alvaro448]

Ok so I four this add that some one is selling panther chameleon eggs and offers a grantee of the eggs hatching or you get another one.my question is what do you guys think about it. Is it a good or bad idea

once the eggs have been laid and are set up it is very difficult to move them without them being jostled and their orientation being changed . once they start flipping around they will most likely die . if you want to learn more check the breeding section of the forums and look up moving eggs .

Even if you transfer the egg to its new location safely, incubate for 9 months, then get it to hatch, you now have a very fragile baby to take care of. Most breeders won't sell chameleons under 3 months of age because of this fragile and delicate state. Not sure of your expertise with chameleons but taking care of a hatchling is more challenging than taking care of one that is already established. It's not a good idea in my opinion.

I think it's a wise decision. Hatchlings are difficult to take care of.
