should i be rotating my egg's?

[Treetop Chameleons]

i don't know if i should just leave my egg's alone or if i need to be rotating them this is my first clutch and they look good there about 2 months old and i have them in a incubator at 76 degrees I'm just not sure if i should be turning the egg's every once and a while.

Do not rotate them. Simply leave them in their container and let time do the rest.

Yea you don't want to mess around with the eggs...

Unlike birds eggs, a Chameleon egg establishes an air pocket shortly after being layed. If you rotate your eggs, you will likely drown the embryo, if the air pocket collapses due to its new orientation. This air pocket is establish to allow exchange of gases in and out of the egg.

Some breeders will mark the up side of the egg with a graphite pencil, so if it should roll due to the eggs being jostled , the up orientation can be re-established.
