Brookesia hatching and laying

[javadi]

Some new b. Thieli caught in the act of hatching, and a gravid b. Superciliaris inspecting a possible nesting site. I’ve been experimenting with providing a ball of debris/moss for some brookesia to see if that helps trigger egg laying in an easy to access spot. So far so good!

Also included is a CBB calumma linotum shedding. Poor thing!

Awesome pics! I could not imagine trying to remove those tiny eggs for incubation.

Yes, it requires some dexterity haha. But the eggs themselves are surprisingly resilient!

That poor little shedding cham. Just an eye poking out of all that old dry skin. ‘Halp!’

Right!? I have a hard enough time removing panther eggs carefully with my giant fingers

2-3 months. For this species almost always exactly 60 days. A whole lot shorter than most species!
