Geez and I think I get pinched hard when handling.....poor Gamora. There has to be puncture holes!

There were no puncture holes, only a few mild scratches and they when away in a few hours. Brother Bane was much more gentle.

Yes, it wasn’t planned but it happen. Bane’s free range is in my bedroom and Gamora’s is in our BIG master bath. I went to get something in my room and Bane was peeking under the bathroom door. I slowly opened the door and Gamora was on the floor by the door. When I opened the door she strutted right out and went right to Bane. He was a true gentleman and they mated. I’m wondering if all the babies will have Bane and Hunter in them or if some babies will be Bane’s and some Hunter’s???
@kinyonga do you know the answer?
The best laid plans....
Some will likely be Bane's and some will likely be Hunter's.
I'm reasonably certain that genes from both males can't end up in the same egg....unless there's something we don't know about chameleons!
Just found this...
"several animals such as birds, reptiles, and most urodele amphibians exhibit physiological polyspermy, in which the entry of several sperm into one egg is permitted. However, in these polyspermic eggs, only one sperm nucleus is involved in zygotic formation with a female nucleus, thereby avoiding syngamy with multiple sperm nuclei"..

I may have to take back my first answer!
Apparently polyspermy can occur in very rare cases in humans...but the outcome isn't good...

So much for the vote, looks like she chose for us! Very interesting that there can be offspring from both males in one clutch. Now we get to see how babies will turn out from both daddies. Yay!
