Hey everyone! I have some panther chameleon eggs cookin' away and they are at the 8.5 month mark and showing signs of hatching. I am only concerned because my previous clutch was not successful at hatching. The first clutch started showing signs of hatching right before the 8 month mark--the eggs would sweat, and shrink in size, but the babies would not come out. Only one baby actually hatched from those eggs but died a few days later. I eventually opened up all of the eggs that never hatched to find perfectly formed, but dead, babies. So, that was devastating and I'm hoping that this clutch will be different! This clutch is the results of a retained clutch...so it is from the same mating as my first, unsuccessful clutch. Anyway, here are my concerns:
2 of these eggs started sweating last night, but not excessive sweating, i just noticed a sheen on their surface, like they were moist. Today, the egg that was always the biggest, like HUGE, is a darker color and smaller in size. It's like it is shrinking, but not really sweating a lot, and not denting. Here are some pics, too.
I am noticing the little "windows" that appear when eggs are near hatching on the other eggs, so this is reassuring. Any advice, suggestions, words of wisdom, etc would be greatly appreciated! Do these eggs seem like they are about to hatch based on my description and the pictures?
