So I come home from shopping all day and with new plants for my chameleons. I'm cleaning out my pygmy aquarium and removing the dead plants. I think to myself before I return these I better check for eggs. The first place my fingers dug up I found 5 little eggs. 5 of them!!! I've read that's their max. Funny thing is I saw one of them digging a few weeks ago or at least finishing a dig and didn't think anything of it. So I've got them out and in my incubator with my Velied eggs. Any suggestions on temps or any advice at all would be helpful.
Brev Eggs

Wow, 5 is a big clutch! Necas suggests daytime temps of 68-75F with night drops to 64-68F. On the warmer side of the spectrum they hatched in fewer days than on the cooler side. Time to hatch ranges from approx 60-90 days depending on temps. I'm using moist vermiculite with 3/4 of each egg buried and they're in an airtight tupperware in a closet. Mine have been incubating within that temp range (cooler at first, now warmer with the change in seasons) for 65 days and look big and healthy so hopefully any day now I will have baby brevs!
Wow thanks for the info. Makes me wonder how long they've been in there and when to expect them to hatch. They look kinda yellowish. Well like yellow spots. Does that sound normal? I'll post some pics soon.
I was planning on keeping them unless they have a lot more. Haha.

Perhaps he's pooped and your female is insatiable and he's trying to get away!
Lmao! Hahaha, too funny.
Two of my eggs have small yellowish areas on them. They're not big areas. I'm not entirely sure how normal it is since this is my first clutch though...
Me too!

You have to let me know how your guys turn out! How many eggs do you have?

They look fine. My little female laid 5 eggs too. You'll be amazed how big they get before they hatch, although they look pretty big now
They DO get big! I'm amazed by how much mine have grown. I'll post pics of mine when I get home. I only have 3 tictacs.
Here are my little ones.
The thermometer in there says 77 but the digital probe in there says 74. I was curious how different the two types would be since I've heard analogues aren't accurate. You can see a yellow spot on the bottom of the one of the far right and top of the middle egg.Yay! I'm glad they look okay. They do seem bigger I guess already. They definitely are larger than a tic tac. lol. I got my pyg's back in January and one looked preggo already so maybe she laid back then and I didn't notice until the plant died.They look fine.

I see the yellow spots! Cool. Well, mine have a lot more yellow I wonder why. I hope all of ours hatch! Yay, again! haha.
