A few more pictures... (hatched 8/12-8/19)
The baby chameleons are getting bigger! First picture is the largest of the four. Next three are another one, for scale. Numbers three and four are sleeping in the foliage... (background for the last three pictures is a heavily planted aquarium on my...
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! My male panther chameleon had an impacted gut requiring veterinary care. I believe that two huge, retained hemipenile plugs may have played a role. Very useful information.
I'm very happy with my results, and was fine with waiting 11 months. The big bonus was that the fourth egg, which looked different from the others, and which I thought might be inviable, hatched a week later than the first three. Hopefully, all babies will continue to thrive. Thanks again, Matt.
@Matt Vanilla Gorilla do you know if/when the other eggs hatched? I'm wondering about incubations time for that clutch, and if my 11 months, 2 days was more or less than others? And what I did that may have affected incubation time. I'm just curious. Thank you for all the great support and advice.
Update: They are about a month old now and all four are still doing well!
Baby ambanja panther chameleons (hatched from eggs I bought from @Matt Vanilla Gorilla) are all still alive and well. Four of four eggs hatched after a long incubation. They recently graduated to eating small crickets...
Update: Since the four babies hatched 8/12 (three) and 8/19 (one), all continue to be active and alert. Mostly eating bean beetles and fruit flies. I'll post pictures later today or this week.
My phone camera isn’t very good, but here are the four babies (hatched 8/12 to 8/19) in my attempt at a bin setup. It's hard to get them all in one shot, but the last, sideways pic has all four. So far they seem active and alert, eating and pooping. I’m still playing around with the setup...
The fourth of four eggs hatched yesterday! Thanks for all the great advice and support @Matt Vanilla Gorilla! So far, all are alive and active. There seem to be two that are bigger and better eaters.
VERY IMPRESSED!
I received my eggs from jannb today. Pro packing job and great communication! I can’t say enough about how responsive jannb has been to my questions and how well the eggs were packed for shipping. They look very healthy! Thanks so much @jannb ! I hope to be posting baby pictures...
Babies this morning, when the lights came on. I’m currently feeding flighted and flightless fruit files, but will be adding tiny hornworms and bean beetles. I’m also working on getting more live plants today in the Exo-Terra enclosure.
@Matt Vanilla Gorilla the last unhatched egg, next to a...
Thank you, Matt! Please PM me if you have any tips for raising babies, or good links! So far they are looking pretty healthy and active. I don't think the fourth egg is viable. I'll post a picture tomorrow. It is larger than the others, softer shelled, not shrunken or sweating.
I answered you in another thread. Since she has laid already -- I'll take three. I'll message you. Please provide instructions if the care of the eggs is any different than for panthers!
I may be interested in a few. I just hatched my first panthers today! (Eggs from a breeder.) Let me see how I do with these babies in the next day or so... Please tag me once eggs are laid and you are ready to ship. Congratulations!
