Who here has Ch. africanus eggs?

[Bradycham]

Does anyone know who at the moment has Chamaeleo africanus eggs incubating? I have 50 currently incubating and should be hatching in the next few months and would like to know who to keep tabs on. Thanks.

My clutch lasted a while then molded over.

Oh sorry to hear that. Do you still have the adults?

No I only had one gravid female. She laid half of her eggs in transit and the second half here. She had swollen hands and legs and she passed before I could bring her to a vet. She seemed as though she was going to pull through and passed rather sudden.

Well that is unfortunate. I hope you get back
into them one day.

Sh#$%t happens and happens more often with Wild Caught animals. Maybe one day I can pick up a unrelated pair of captive bred C. africanus. Possibly from you if you hatch any of your eggs out.

For the record I hate when something of this nature happens.

Yeah I agree. Yeah, definitely if they hatch your are more than welcome to them. I won't however have any unrelated ones. I originally had about 86 eggs incubating with 50 of them from one and the rest from another, one of my incubators however decided that instead of heat, it wanted to chill and basically froze them. I kept the eggs for a little bit after that but they all went bad fairly quickly, so I am left with the single clutch of 50 and hoping there are others with eggs getting ready to pip.

Glad you have got one clutch left. Another forum member had three clutches go down the same way. It kind of tempts me to split my future clutches up and put half with my home made incubator and the other half in one of these incubators that are available on the market today. This preventing that kind of loss. I actually wish they would make these new incubators much larger than they currently are.

And more reliable.
