My eggs look fertile and look like the healthy ones except the two oldest which have gone a golden brown over night, sweated and sunken, they have been like this since thursday... I had hoped this was normal...
Has anyone carefully watched chameleon eggs through the incubation period to hatching time?
So many books and web sites say the egg sweats and dimples/collapses.
