Chameleon puzzle of sorts. https://bitsandpiecescanada.ca/collections/unique-gifts?page=9

This is the first species of chameleon that I hatched the eggs of. I miss them. They had so much character and were so calm for wild caught chameleons.

Have you checked out microwave oven stands?

It’s usually not a good sign that a female drops eggs without burying them. Has she been digging at all? Do you have other reptiles/chameleons in the same room? How old is she? Please post some photos of the cage and the egg bin and her.

I wish I could give you an answer as to what the bump is…but I can’t. Can you post a video of her moving around in the cage? One more thing though…because she’s a veiled female, you will need to control her diet and temperatures soon to prevent her from developing large clutches of eggs and...

IMHO…it would likely be best for the health of the hatchlings to hatch at the appropriate number of days (like nature should do) to have properly developed, healthy babies. You might find this interesting… “These results support and extend ideas regarding a constancy in the number of...

With female veiled chameleons in particular, if they are not kept in a particular fashion (diet, temperature wise, etc) they can produce too many follicles/eggs and become eggbound and develop follicular stasis…so as they approach sexual maturity, you want to make sure you control their feeding...
