eggs double in size?

[chamer]

Ok I had my first clutch start hatching 1 1 10. They are still hatching? almost 2 months later? The really strange thing is the eggs were put in much warmer spot after I though they had stopped hatching. They then doubled in size and started hatching again? I did not know panther eggs could get that big, or take that much longer to hatch.

have I done something wrong?

I was wondering if I have done something wrong or ask for help in the wrong way, upset someone or something. It appears the last 2 or 3 threads I have started have had NO responses! If I did something wrong please tell me so I can correct it.

I will admit I have not looked at your last few threads, or most of everyones else's threads. I am sure it is nothing personal. There are so many of us on here that as sad as it sounds, a lot of us only look at threads that are in our area of interest or expertise. i know I am guilty of that.

Now about you eggs, I have o personal experience with eggs doing as your are. The babies coming out of the monster eggs, are they healthy? If so just let them hatch, enjoy them and go forward. Eggs in my experience do as many different things as some of the weird humans I know!!!

Hope this helps.

ive had a similar issue where noone responded to my threads... i think it depends on when you start it... later in the evening seems to attract a lot of attention because the more relaible and knowledgeable members have the will and time to respond as opposed to the morning...


if i knew ANYTHING about eggs id help you, but i dont... :/ sorry

I just had a look at your last thread you started and the reason you aren't getting a reply is you tend not to give any information or even ask a question in your post. You simply make a statement but don't ask anything or give enough information for us to help.

Chameleon eggs grow considerably during incubation and some clutches can have a long lag time between the first and last hatchling. I've had an F. oustaleti clutch where most hatched in January and then the last egg hatched in August.

Here is a pic of two T. montium clutches. The clutch on the left was laid 2 hours prior to this photo and the clutch on the right was laid 162 days before the photo and hatched 7 days later:

thanks for the help and comments
I just found it very strange they would grow so much after most of the other ones had already hatched. I now see this is not so unusual. All of the babies have been fine and I have not lost a one. I will try and be more clear on any future thread questions and really appreciate the comments. I was thinking maybe I should have incubated them at higher temp. I used 70 to 72 and they started hatching at 7 months

Chris are you the one going to Madagascar?

My daughter went to USF in St Pete FL and went to Madagascar with USF team several years ago. I was just reading your thread about going this year and would love to go but looks alittle hard for someone who is older. If you need one more let me know maybe I could make it.

Thanks for the kind words, I guess I just worry. I have another clutch of eggs and was thinking of warming them up more?

Unfortunately my teaching schedule this semester made is so I couldn't get back to Madagascar this year. Do you remember who your daughter went with or what the project was?

I am guessing from your avatar we are talking about panther eggs? I don't even use an incubator for veiled or panther eggs. I just sit them on a shelf in the closet where they won't be disturbed or moved and wait for them to hatch. If your home temp varies a lot them I would say put them at the same temp as the ones that just hatched. I would not raise the temp and mess with success. Just me I guess

BTW i am also a mature????? adult.

Chis, she went with James Gore with the Enviormental Science to study the Eco systems of madagascar. She loved it and did in fact see some Cham crossing the road while she was there.

YES my first question did say Panther but at the end sorry. I did not use an incubator either, just the closet. This clutch eggs look even smaller and when I saw how large they can get, I thought I might be be doing something wrong. But I agree if they have all lived and doing well will not change things. Thanks again. At least the babies waited to hatch until I had just retired to give them all day care.

How many did you get out of that clutch and what locale?

Hi Chamer, I started this thread a couple of days ago. Some more pics of eggs showing size at different stages during the incubation period.

 

[STRYDER]

WOW those eggs really do get alot bigger from the time they were laid, thats hectic. I saty in South Africa so you reckon its important for me to have a constant incbation for veiled chams?

I suppose the winters could get quite cold here so maybe it is better to do so with a home-made incubator or something for the winter?
