Babies Everywhere!!!

[reptimom]

You could have knocked my over with a feather when I went to feed and mist my Rudis chameleons this morning and noticed something crawling on the roof of their cage. I had to do a doubletake and make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. YES, there were little rudis babies crawling all over the top of the cage!! What a surprise. My girls looked gravid, but my male's stomach looks alot larger, so I was hard to tell who was expecting. I'm still not sure who had the babies, but one appears alot darker and a little smaller, so I will assume it was her. Right now I have 9 healthy babies. I did notice that one was lying on the bottom of the cage still with a yolk sac. Not sure why this one did not make it. I removed the babies from the big cage and now have them in their own 10 gallon aquarium. They are chowing down on pinheads right now, and I have some fruit flies ordered for them. I will post pictures of them later today!

Male and female parents were in the same cage?

Yes, I actually have 1 male and 3 females together. Rudis can be kept together if you have a large cage, but it is best with just 1 male. They will actually all sleep close together at night. I would have seperated the female had I know she was that close to giving birth, but she was not that big at all! That was why I was soooo surprised!

Yea I kept my red rudis togeather at first in a large cage. Then I saw the females would allways be below in the tree when the male was at the top, and vise versa. So I believe it is best to keep them apart. Maybe keep 2 females togeather, but I dont even do that. But when I kept them togeather the male was allways stay dark black. So stress was there for sure.
