I was just wondering when you breed Yemen is there some way other then the cruel way of containing the amount of chameleons born? I would never ever hurt the little guys even in eggs, just cos I'm not keen on having heaps of babies just a few. But if there is no way then I won't breed them some people are cruel and suggested throwing some eggs away, that just seems wrong to me, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Not met to sound offensive at all but please help

They will require loads of fruit flies and other tiny insects, but don't need to bask at first. Why not get loads? There are ways of trying to keep the number of eggs laid down by altering the females diet, but they will often lay lots of eggs anyway (especially the first batch).
It's not that hard to raise a lot instead of a few, so I agree with not throwing any away, but don't see why not let them all live and get rid when they are old enough to be sold on?

Sorry I phrased my question wrong, I mean I know u can sell them but where I'm from no one wants to buy any or be given any, including the pet stores so I would have to let them out of captivity, see I want to only get another 8 or so and I was hoping that u could stop the Cham at 8 because I have buyers for 8 and im worried I might get stuck with 50 extras. I think incubating is fine, I just think it's cruel to like kill off some and only hatch some.

You can't stop it at 8, so either have to potentially get 60 or get none. Not any other option I can think of, since you don't want to abandon eggs.

ive really put thought into it too..they have the initial pause for at least a few days before they start to develop and cant be turned..if kept at a cool temp ied figure you could get a few days out of them if you moved fast and shipped them out (just cause no one has done it before doesent mean its impossible..) im sure there will be at least a few losses tho..

I'm sure it can be done! I bougth a crested gecko egg a few years ago and the guy shipped it to me and it hatched.
Hatch them out and send them to me I know someone that would love to have them
just curious. why would a parsons want more yemen?

Where do you live where people dont want chameleons?
There must be some sort of demand for them, otherwise how would you even have the option to keep them and breed them?
