Congrats Jox that is truly fantastic! Hopefully you get some wee Chongs running around.

How exciting! Congratulations!

Congrats, and I call dibs on a male, lol

 

[JoXie411]

Thank you everyone, keep your fingers crossed these eggs will make it. ? ? ? She may have one more egg in her but I’m not 100%

How long are you looking at for incubation time with this species? Is it like other smaller species? I believe I read somewhere that the carpet chams take about 4-5 months. Are the Willsii similar in that respect?

 

[JoXie411]

There isn’t a lot of date on hatching these guys so I’m kinda winging it but I’m going off this article I found on furcifer Petteri. Willsii was also a keyword in the article so I’m hopping this is a good source. I heard someone hatched willsii and it took 2 years for the egg hatch sooooooooooooo

the k. boehmei are 6-7 months. I'm 5 months in so far. If that helps!

 

[JoXie411]

I’m currently Converse with Bill strand about incubation. He’s been an extremely huge help since acquiring this species.

Hah she (your female) was showing gravid colors! I got home late tonight. Congrats about the Furcifer willsii clutch. I have my digits crossed even if it turns out you only have got only two good eggs.

the guessing game of are they gravid/receptive has been fun ? by the looks of my female Mary I think she may be receptive at the moment

they both have Different color variations. Mary has more yellow, green, and little blue. While Jane has a purple/lavender color to her

Thank you Jeremy for allowing me to bug you in pms when I had questions about stuff. I’m hopping my other female will give me eggs soon. I still owe you a willsii one day

appreciatively,
Jozette

I have only kept the species for the limited amount of time. I have seen receptive and gravid coloration in female chameleons before. The only question was was your female showing receptive colors or was she showing gravid colors. I pegged her as showing gravid colors. I mentioned to a former Chameleon Forums moderator Kent Manchen that you got a clutch. His Fucifer willsii pair produced a captive bred clutch of eggs this summer too. You could send him a Facebook pm to talk Furcfer willsii.

So updat on the eggs, all but one molded over. I’m unsure still if it fertilized. I will continue to incubate for now. The other egg is a veiled egg imelda laid that hasn’t molded over

How are you incubating them

 

[JoXie411]

They are incubating at room temp in a drawer at the moment, this is how I was told to incubate so if you have advice please do share becuase I’m more then happy to learn. I’m also keeping them on vermiculite

They need a diapause if I’m not mistaken. I will see if I can find anything in my notes about them.
@Motherlode Chameleon can tell you how he was incubating too
