You just bought the pair and you already want to know who wants the offspring?

You almost sound surprised to see a new forum member getting way ahead of themselves to sell babies. Doesn't this happen ~monthly?
I'm not challenging the capability of anybody here, I just hope everybody recognizes what a huge responsibility it is to breed chameleons.

What ? Please clarify what you mean. Thanks.

for instance: 1.2.24
that means 1 man, 2 females, 24 unknown sex (offspring).

I've hatched many Ankaramy clutches with diapause in 6-7 months. Without diapause I have seen just about every locale have some clutches take 11-13 months. I would not be so hasty to draw a conclusion about incubation periods based on such a small sample size

I have F-1, F-2, and some mixed, where the sire and dam were different generations removed. On that note, the most accurate results to me would seem to be those achieved with eggs from fresh-caught imported gravid females, not yet subjected to the whims of captive husbandry.
I also have not attempted to hatch pardalis eggs without a diapause for many years. It is my belief that a diapause is the natural process, by which this animal has viability in the wild, while all the other things that happen in captivity can easily produce different, and less predictable, results. A proper diapause will give consistent results on hatch times. Remembering back to my non-diapause days, I have had separate clutches produced by sibling pardalis (not siblings bred to each other, but sibling males bred to sibling females of a different bloodline), kept at a uniform temperature throughout development, where the hatch rates between clutches could vary by as much as three months. I have had eggs with no apparent diapause hatch in 7 months, while others hatched in 13, leaving me to wonder if there wasn't still a subtle triggering mechanism, less obvious than a more substantial diapause. My point would be that to not have a diapause is to introduce factors that will change the incubation period regardless of Locale. As with any experiment, when one eliminates one or more controls, in this case a diapause, the results are tainted and inconclusive.

Here's a link to an earlier thread ..

A diapause would be a change in the incubation temperature for a specified duration, usually to mimic a seasonal fluctuation, in this case a Madagascar winter. In many Madagascar chameleon species, it acts as a triggering mechanism to embryonic development, the belief being that it serves to time the hatch so as to occur in the middle of spring. See the above link.
