WC cristatus pair (parental advisory)

I bought a WC pair from EcoRegional and fairly quickly the female got right down in the pot and dug a nest. She didn't bury them very far down. The entire time she was in the nest, you could see the top of her head and back. She's a very laid back, easy going kind of chameleon. A bit shy. I can't get her to take feeders from my hand but that doesn't bother me. If they all hand fed, I'd never get my work done!

This female laid 15 eggs and they are growing and hopefully will hatch out when all of the published information says they should. :) Makes sense right? lol

The male I have tries breeding with a CH female I have but I don't think she's interested. I have a picture of the two WCs breeding though.

All I did was observe the interest level between both in their cages after removing the barrier, a piece of opaque twin-walled plastic. So I removed that and waited to see if they displayed, if the female moved towards or away from the male's cage. She was indifferent so I put her in the male's cage and within a few minutes, they were breeding. I ran to get my camera of course because it just seemed like they wouldn't really mind since they were so into each other and the moment. ;) His eyes were closed before I opened the cage door to get this picture.
