Okay. It's been about a month later and only one egg has shriveled up and molded. I have them in two containers, with 26 in each. One container has whiter eggs than the other. Any particular reason? And how developed should they be by now?
I'm keeping them around 78* throughout the day and night.
Awesome. And I'll be sure to drop the temps. So just thinking about it I counted and she laid 53 eggs. I believe last time she laid 52. Might that make any difference?
Okay. It was....about 3 weeks ago I tried mating my male and female veileds. I say tried because they did their....chameleon thing.....and I don't know if the eggs are fertile. I have the eggs in perlite at the low 80's for temp. I tried getting vermiculite since it's higher recommended, but...
You'll need a dark warm place to keep them, places to hide (egg crates) and food. I feed mine apples and change them out every few days, and I've heard they also love oranges. Other than that, let them alone.
Just two - male and female veileds. I recently got a job at a PetCo and am hoping not to spend my whole paycheck on all the creatures I want! Next I am wanting to start up a salt water tank.
Edit: Also in the house is 5 other small dogs, a fire-bellied toad, a tree frog, a house gecko, a...
I can't remember where I got mine at, but I got 100 mixed for around $40 with shipping. All I do to take care of them is have a ceramic lamp and apples changed out every couple days in a black plastic bin. The less light the better.
It's awesome how many strange ways they manage to fall asleep. Mel used to clasp onto a piece of rope with her hind paws(?) and looked like she was asleep standing up. How I wish I could do that.
That's just it. I didn't find a page that said, "I wait _____ time before I breed again." I didn't look exactly for that when I researched, and kinda dumb I didn't. How long do you wait chameleoholic?
That's something I couldn't find in the pages I looked at. And another question I should've asked. How long after laying is good time to try? How often are clutches laid?
My new thing I'm trying is to take an ice cube tray full of ice and just flip it over on the cage. It takes a few hours to melt so there's a constant water flow. Then I'll just spray the cage in the afternoon.
