Look what I found today!

I've got a clutch of 33 Veiled eggs that were deposited on April 18th of this year, so they are due any time now and I've been candling the eggs pretty much every day for last few weeks waiting patiently for them to hatch. Well one did today! Here's my new little girl:





I'm not sure why she hatched and not the others... most of the time they have a mass hatch response and all go together. Ah well. The rest of the eggs still look good, and I guess I'll be checking on them hourly now.

Enjoy! I know I am! She's a keeper for sure.

Trace

Congratulations Trace...veiled chameleons are truely amazing and very hardy. It is not unusual for them to hatch over a period of quite a few days. I have been breeding them for a number of years and they are still my favourite chameleon. Good luck!!

Congrats onn the new arrival.

If you provide enough space between eggs in the incubator you can avoid the mass hatch response. Evidently, its a chemical or hormonal element in the albumen that can trigger hatching in neighboring eggs. Good for helping dig to the surface, bad for avoiding preemies. We had one clutch that took almost two weeks to completely hatch.

Also, candling the eggs on a regular basis is not supposed to be advisable as light exposure, even for a short duration can cause premature hatches.

One down, 32 to go! Have fun,

WM

what a wonderful surprise. I am glad you found her today, rather than tomorrow! How long can they survive in the hatching box anyways?
