My eggs have not hatched yet... your thoughts?

[Reel]

So I have a batch of Ambilobe Panther Chameleon eggs that have been in a 70 degree cupboard with good humidity and they look great... but in June they will officially be a year old and still no hatching happening. They have grown throughout the year, I have lost a few but most of them appear to be doing great Sooo whats going on? I know it can take up to a year for them to hatch but I'm not seeing any signs of anything happening!! Is there any hope? I've heard stories of people having chameleons hatch at 2 years old so I'm willing to wait it out till the end of time... I'm just wondering peoples thoughts. Why no action yet? Thanks!!

There are some crazy records out there of Panther chameleons taking well over a year to hatch. Temps have a lot to do with them hatching sooner than later. 70 degrees to me is a little on the cold side. If I were you I would raise up the temp 3 degrees. But do it one degree at a time. This hopefully will trigger spring is coming and it's time to grow faster and it's time to hatch.

Thank you. I just candled all of them and they all look to be doing good inside the eggs. The sad part is I just found a half hatched dead chameleon. It looked perfect, no flaws. Not sure why it didn't finish hatching. Not sure why it died. Poor thing. I hope the next hatchers have better luck then he did I have my vermiculite damp to the point that you get a drop of water if you squeeze it hard enough. Is that too damp? I will try raising the temp some. Thank you.

Are you sure it was dead? They can look dead and just lay there with their eyes closed half hatched for a good day and then finish hatching just fine.
