Oh wow very informative
So by like what month should they be born. It varies right?
Hello I had a question. So if she laid them Oct 22/24 in how long will they hatch ,that way I take them out 20-30 days before the closet to monitor them closely?Wait ? Is that possible? So you are saying that not only these eggs are fertile but the next batch can too!? How is that? Oh wow… and thank you she was 2 months when we got her . I won’t forget thanks
The length of time they incubate for before hatching is affected by the temperature you keep them at for one thing….so it’s hard to give an exact date.
Usually the eggs shrink, get “windows” in the shell, sweat just before hatching…so that can be an indication.
I wouldn’t take them out of the closet. I would leave them in the same place until they hatch…and if you remove the lid, remember, you will mess up the eco system inside…especially if you do it repeatedly.
Also…
There should then be a slit in one end of the egg after that. The baby can lay there with its head out of the egg for up to 2 or 3 days but some of them come out of the egg almost immediately.
Example of windows in an egg…

I will keep that in mind thank you
Temp is 77 all the time
Ok I will keep the lid on at all times. The kid has no holes but it is a squamata SIM container so it has enough air to circulate I Believe

Yes unfortunately female chameleons can retain sperm for the next fertilization! So even if you haven’t mated her, the next clutch of eggs have to be watched to see if they are viable. I agree it’s a trip!Wait ? Is that possible? So you are saying that not only these eggs are fertile but the next batch can too!? How is that? Oh wow… and thank you she was 2 months when we got her .

Oh wow i only mated her one time with him once he was done I took her out. So far her color has change from being peachy to like purlish grey weird color but unique in many ways
