Here is an updated picture of the 9 eggs left incubating. All are staying nice and calcified. Hoping they will hatch early next month.

congrats but you know you could leave them in the terrarium and they will hatch normaly, just so you keep misting the same way as you use too, female often find a good place to lay them in

I would have done that, but the adults died a few months ago, right after laying the eggs. They were all WC animals so I just took the eggs out and incubated them in a separate container.

I lost a baby when they hatched in the terrarium because the mom tried to eat it and killed it. So I always remove them.

That is the exact reason as to why I would remove them as well. I wouldn't want to have the adults go after the hatchlings.

Do you have any tips as far as baby terrariums?

The viridis didn't make it. The first one to start hatching died shortly after coming out of the egg. Four of the others died in the egg after they shrunk and sweated for two days, and the final egg the chameleon lived for about 2-3 hours outside of the egg but later passed away.

Sorry to hear that, they are just so fragile and I'm guessing even more so when they hatch.

They can be very sensitive as can any new born reptiles.
