I'm shocked and stunned! I got my weekly shipment of bugs today (thanks again Grant) and was feeding the pygmy leaf chameleons (R. brevicaudatus) when I discovered this:
That is one of the females laying eggs! I was HOPING that this group would breed for me, but I've never seen any mating attempts going on in the terrarium. Maybe they are just shy and waited for me to leave the room.
I apologise for the crappy pics coming up, my photography skills got lost in the excitement today.
Here is her laying egg one: That is daddy on the left hand side of the pic.
Here is egg two:
And egg three:
Now I'm not sure if these eggs are fertile or not, but I will incubate them anyways. They have a considerably short incubation time of anywhere from 60-75 days so I should know fairly quickly if I have babies or not. I hope so!!!! I also can't believe how TINY these eggs are!
Mom is doing well and eating bugs like crazy!
Thanks for looking!
