Eggs in the oven

A few weeks ago I decided to take in a female WC Ambilobe and had a few egg looking things coming out while pooping, so after careful consideration I decided to experiment with diet and egg production stimulation...and to my surprise heat+diet+"male flashing" definitely stimulates eggs production and she has laid 22 "small" yet very healthy looking eggs. Without counting the other 5 that came out while pooping.

Which means while being transported she was producing eggs and god knows for how long she was "ready" to lay. This makes me wonder, do chameleons in the wild reabsorb eggs if the "right" situation doesn't present itself? or do they die eggbound like in most captive cases.

Regardless, I can't wait to see what comes out of these mystery eggs.

First is Clio (WC Ambilobe), hating the camera.

It will be interesting to see how the males will turn out cause you don't know the sire, good luck hatching them:)
 
I also got a wc female that was suppossed to be an ambilobe lol. But she's looking more and more banja every day! I thought well we'll see when the babies are born and old enough. Right? Nope wrong! Because if they are a cross how can u tell for sure what momma is? Lol chams in the wild especially females for instance are hard to tell what locale they are! Lol anywho she looks great! Good luck to you! Maybe we can trade some babies?
 
I did see your other thread! I'm interested too, keep us updated on your girl and her eggs :)

Where did you get that "ambilobe/ambanja" from? if you don't mind me asking...And I definitely agree it is always a big surprise reason why I never understood why some breeders are so adamant about cross panthers...Regardless I can't wait to see what comes out of those eggs...
