My first born!!!!

[Craigwyatt]

I was just doing my normal every 2 day check on my eggs and there he was. This was defiantly worth the wait. I started this project in Nov 2013 with babies. Since then I've acquired a nice little collection. I have more than 150 eggs cooking. Fingers crossed they all hatch out like this little guy.
**This project just got 100 more times fun!!!

Here's the sire. I bought him from Brian Stenson of crazy eye chams. His sire is Scotty.

Awwww, look at that little guy, how cute! Very handsome sire. Congrats on the hatching.

And here's moms sire. She comes out of Bonaroo. I bought her from Jim Flaherty (chameleon company).

Gratz on your first. Always a fun thing with the first one. Make sure you keep that one.

I look forward to seeing these little guys grow.

I'll defiantly be keeping this guy/gal and hopefully in the next week or so I'll be updating this thread with pics of more.
I was surprised to see a hatchling from this clutch because I have 2 clutches that are several months older. Right now I have 9 clutches. The oldest was laid in May last year. Atleast now I know to start keep an eye on the eggs earlier even if older clutches are still cooking.

There will never be a baby like the first one. I think I stared at that baby in wonder for hours. Something that tiny and so functional. I wasn't sure my daughter would ever get there!!. Congrats.

Are they all the same kind of cham eggs? There isn't usually tons of difference when they hatch. I know panthers very but I do not know how much. have they all be incubated the same? I just love to learn new stuff.

 

[Craigwyatt]

Yes. They are all ambilobies. I just put them all in the closet at the exact same level. It's easier to monitor the temp that way. I was really surprised that one of the 2 older clutches didn't hatch first. But hey I'll still take it!!

 

[Craigwyatt]

The only difference that I can see is the female to this clutch was 2 or 3 months older than the 2 older clutches. The 2 older clutches were both laid by a single female. The female that laid the clutch that's hatching now laid a second clutch too. I wonder if that clutch will hatch a little early too. Hope so!!!

 

[Craigwyatt]

Since my post 3 more hatched out giving me a total of 4 now. And another one cut the egg open so maybe tommorow he will crawl out and meet his siblings. Now I have 17 to go. Can't wait!! This is more exiting than I imagined it. I made this jungle gym. It seams to be the perfect size for there tiny feet. Any suggestions on how I can improve on my design.

So cute! Congrats. I hope they will all be very healthy.
