Egg Sack help.

[Imimimachameleon]

#3 out of 3 hatched and it has an egg sack stuck to it still. I'm wondering if I should leave him in his hatch spot or keep him in the nursery I have set up. Seems healthy and well with the exception of the sack hanging. It's large enough to the point that it is messing with him in regard to moving and climbing.

You should definitely leave it in the hatch spot.
You should leave them there the first day to make sure their yolk sacs do get absorbed. Right now it runs the risk of getting snagged and pulling out the insides, or creating an infection.

I’ve seen it take a few days for the chameleon to suck it in... he won’t eat with that sack so I would keep him separated, especially from insects as they might try to chew on it. Thanks!

Popped off today and was just a little booger blob. It did rest for a couple days and he now hopped the fence into the make shift nursery...he literally climbed the side of the cage and threw himself on a branch.

I have a 10 day difference between my two hatchlings. Is it okay to keep them together or is it too much time?

 

[twistychams]

Id keep them together unless you start seeing a problem.

The older one is a little territorial and the newbie doesn't give a crap.

Cool and kind of fucked up seeing them flash on each other but ultimately this weekend they're going solitary again.
