"Measurable concentrations of retinol at all stages of egg development in the chameleons suggests effective conversion from carotenoid precursors, with concentrations similar to those measured in other lizard eggs"...if this is true then wouldn't this mean that a chameleon converts carotenoids too?? If eggs contained carotenoids how did they get in the eggs?
