Panther Babies Just hatched!

[Mandevil91]

Hello,

My Panther Chameleon eggs just hatched (well just one of them so far) and I don't know what to do!

Soooooo cute

Congrats on the first of the clutch, so cool! I'm sure the experts can give you the complete guide, but pretty sure you should get a hold of some fruit flies and similar appropriately sized feeders if you have yet to do so!

Do you have a cage set up for it?
Proper supplements, insects, watering system, etc ready?

I had some extra cages laying around from my chameleon younger days. I have set it up and put the first baby in there. I just ordered some fruit flies from eBay

That's a beginning!
What lights do you have on the cage?
No basking light I hope?

I do! Should I turn it off?

 

[kinyonga]

I never use basking lights on babies...they're small and can dehydrate and overheat too easily.
What's the temperature under it?
What's the ambient temperature of the cage?

I turned it off. The ambient temp is 79F with 52% humidity

Panthers are actually sexed by the hemipenal bulge at the base if their tails. Veileds are sexed by their tarsal spurs down on the males' back feet

Forgot lol i'm prob just used to Veiled

Tis the season! Don't worry if not all the eggs hatch at once; it's not uncommon for part of a clutch to hatch, and the next cohort or two (even in the same container!) to take a week or two longer to start coming out. Congrats!

What should I do with the other eggs in the meantime? They are in the cage with the other hatchling right now but I feel I should put them back in their incubator.

When would I be able to tell the sex of the panther chameleons?
