Why does a 2 month old Panther Chameleon egg look like this?

[Cmdalan]

Attached are some photo's of two out of three eggs that look like this, they are fertile, layed November 22, 2022 so they are not even 3 months old, the other 25 are just fine so far, but new to this and trying to stop or prevent a future problem. Anyone seen this before and what causes it? Thanks for your help!

I can only speculate as to what causes this. Perhaps eggs swelling. But the important point is that this is not an indication of some thing going wrong. When I have seen this, the eggs hatch without an issue.

Though, one day, I would like to figure out what causes this and how “natural” this is.

@Cmdalan What temperature are you incubating them at?

Sigh…that dang list….
