One egg hatched so far, as per my first post (thread title), three had shrunk and the chameleons inside were stillborn, 1 had pipped its egg right before I left but remained inside, and there are about 20 leftover that are still white and 'plump'. I actually miscalculated the time that has gone by on those eggs, and it has been about 8 months. Any ideas on why this seems like an abnormal hatching?
I will be back on Sunday. Everything for the baby is on a timer and automatic - from the lights to the mister and humidifier. I also put in PLENTY of fruit flies, fruit, and pinhead crickets. He/She had enough food to last a week, even though I'll be back sooner.
Ok. This can be your guide all the time, to what you have to do to leave,. I have wanted to go camping but couldnt figure out a water plan. The resevoir for my dripper only holds a gallon of water, my fogger runs out after 24 hours and my chams are big enough to eat all their worms in 36 hrs. Crickets crawl all over my guys, so thats out. Idk, i might have been able to do it when they atr fruit flies, but not now. They use a lot of stuff. Plus there is 5 of them!!
Hi Chachi and everyone else who has helped give advice: When I came home I had another dozen babies crawling around in the container, so I moved them to the existing enclosure. The little guy who came out prematurely was sleeping and looked more full in the belly than when I left. It appears he may make it. I still have some eggs (about 6) unhatched, so I'm going to leave them.
