Mutant Ambilobes?

[Pooboodeltin]

In June 2018, I bought an ambilobe panther chameleon egg and she hatched in less than 2 months as a perfectly normal, healthy baby. I thought her early hatching was due to some environmental factors, but I'm starting to question that. I raised her and she was bred for the first time on 9/14/2019. She laid her first eggs- a 41 egg clutch (all fertile)- on 9/3. (I gave 6 eggs to the owner of the male who sired them.) It is currently 11/1 and the containers with the eggs have a good bit of condensation on the sides. I don't think this is a coincidence. I think my female has a genetic trait that she passed on where the babies hatch much faster. She also laid a 37 egg clutch on 10/27 with stored sperm because they are all fertile. I attached some pictures of the eggs and a picture of the Sire and Dam.

ALSO
Due to the fact that I have 72 babies on the way, I will be selling most of them when they reach 3 months. Females will be 250 and males will be 350. Also, I can put some on hold for $75 per egg (Holds are non-refundable). So If you are interested in some or have questions, let me know.

What temperature are you incubating them at?

How old was her egg when you bought it?
Are you saying the containers have condensation in them on the side? They are suppose too. Or are you saying the eggs are starting to sweat? I'm a little confused lol

I know the seller said the egg was less than 2 months old and it hatched within 10-15 days of me receiving it.
And for the eggs, both are occurring. A few of the eggs look like they're starting to sweat. And the sides of the container have condensation.

The room is about 74 degrees.

Strange that they are hatching in such a short time at that temperature.

sound roughly impossible to me :/ maybe you should ask the breeder again?

You said..."she was bred for the first time on 9/14/2019. She laid her first eggs- a 41 egg clutch (all fertile)- on 9/3"... So she laid eggs on Sept. 3rd and then was mated 11days after that? Then you said..."She also laid a 37 egg clutch on 10/27 with stored sperm because they are all fertile"

What am I missing?

The one container that has the most eggs in it looks very wet inside. What are you using to cover it? It looks like plastic wrap under the lid from the pictures. Could water be collecting on it and dripping on to the eggs causing them to look like they're sweating? That's happened to me a few times.

Oh oops, I meant 8/14, my bad!

@Pooboodeltin ..that makes more sense. Thanks!

I guess that could be what is happening. When I checked on the eggs today and there was barely any condensation for some reason but the eggs did look like they were starting to sweat.

Haha, I should probably go ahead and edit the post to clear that up

I have tried to contact the breeder, mainly about trying to get pictures of the sire onseveral occasions with no success.

Good idea!

 

[Pooboodeltin]

Good idea!

I can't seem to figure out how to do it :/

 

[kinyonga]

Are you past the allowed time to edit?

I believe so

I'd love an update when these guys hatch! Maybe your girl skips the dormancy period?
