Surprise babies!

[greatgatsby319]

So, I bought my rudis chameleon, Gatsby, in March of this year. I went to bed last Wednesday with one chameleon and woke up with eleven! Turns out my little girl was pregnant (I was convinced I was overfeeding her but even after cutting her diet and she wasn't losing weight I didn't suspect her to be pregnant!!!). As excited as I am about these new additions to my family, I'm a new chameleon owner. I've already separated them from mom and they're eating fruit flies consistently. All seem to be doing well but any advice is welcome! Thanks!

That's what I've been doing! Lots and lots of research. They're very cute and I'm doing my best. I love them all so much already.

The babies are doing well! Eating lots. here's two more pictures of the little nuggets. I also have a slow motion video of one of the babies eating on my Instagram (bdubbs57 is my username. Not a plug to get followers I swear! It just won't let me upload the video here and it's pretty cool if I do say so myself lol)

Yeeeeah. I wish someone could have recorded me discovering that she had babies because I just stood there staring in complete shock like "THIS ISN'T REAL. THIS ISN'T HAPPENING. WHAT. NO. WHAT." Lol. But I'm trying my best! I love them all so much. It's gonna be hard to put them up for sale in a few months.

Here's another picture of the babies climbing around their ficus (it's in the process of regrowing its leaves but they have plenty of other vegetation l promise!). They're super cute and I feel like they're getting big so quick. They'll be one month old in a few days.

Thank you! This is my first time. Their mom is my first chameleon. So this has been quite the experience.

Wow that is amazing there are some experienced breeders on here that would have trouble with keeping 10 babies alive and you are brand new and doing well!
