WHITE OUSTALET'S (not a joke)

Here is something that happened to me a few years ago....I had been incubating a couple of clutches of oustalet eggs (about #60+) when a very large fire had gone through my area..power failures, smoke and heat had just played havoc with my reptiles. Most of my chameleon eggs at first looked as though they had survived but time took a large toll! After a couple of months, a few eggs began to hatch. Four of them appeared normal but six came out a dirty white color!!!! They only lived a week!! Of the four normal colored chameleons only one has made it. A female..... I have since mated her with a c.b.b. male and she has given me #45 eggs that I expect to hatch here in the next few months....I'm thinking genetic damage is the reason for the lack of pigmentation to the non-survivors, I will soon find out when this next clutch hatches.

Had you hatched Oustalets before? Males and females are typically colored differently. Too bad they did not survive to see how they would color up.
