Hello everybody,
My panthers chameleon eggs is being incubating until today is 9 months. It has no sign of hatch like sweat or shrink and looks it good. But few days ago when i checked the eggs, i had saw the egg shell was torn as the photo below, the first egg ( red circle ) was torn and after one day, the neonate show its head outside.
When i recognized that, i see its eyes and head moving and i think it will survive but after 24hrs i checked again and see no any sign of life( and i let it inside the box until today to get mold to be sure it died completely )
In the same time, two other eggs have same problems to the first eggs and you can see the eggs shel was torn and the neonate still stay in amniotic sac ( green circle )
So i would like to ask anyone who has experience in breeding could explain what happened with these eggs ?
Thanks for reading

@kinyonga might be able to help you.

I would include any info for what you may have done recently. I am not well versed in incubating eggs but I know when too much water is added to the substrate the eggs can rupture.
 
I gave you all the information I have in this thread. I assume this is another batch of eggs? Is it from the same pair of chameleons? Did you change anything in the way you were incubating them?

i incubate at 79F and didnt change anything from the beginning, no add further water in wholetime. This subtrate i had mixed for 2 clutchs, one clutch hatched at the same temperature with 20/24 eggs in 8 months and this clutch with this problem at 9th month.
 
How did you measure the water/moisture level of the substrate?
Did you mix the substrate in one big batch then divide it between two containers or mix each container separately? Did some eggs become huge?

i mixed the substrate in one big batch and devide it 2 parts. The eggs i mentioned look normally not huge.
I just checked and here is what happening, the neonate in the green circle at the first comment has moved out
