For those not using an incubator, you still want to use your hygrometer and thermometer to keep the heater and humidity in the right range. Without an incubator, you need to watch the heater and put a water dish near the eggs to keep the air in the right place.
Depending on the species, you may need to wait anywhere from 6 months to a whole year for the eggs to hatch. Look for the chameleons to start breaking the shells and get your baby chameleon care staff ready. Can you make money breeding chameleons?
How do chameleons mate? Then, when a female agrees to be mated with, the male mounts her and inserts one of his two hemipenes and fertilizes the eggs inside. When can you breed veiled chameleons? How long does it take for chameleon eggs to hatch?

Click to expand I am incubating my eggs ar 75 degrees.
They have incubated so far for days, but have another days to go. If your eggs are caving in I would suggest that you check your vermiculite to see how damp it is. It should feel damp to the touch. If it feels dry, take a medicine dropper I use one to give medicine to children, I get it at my pharmacy , fill with warm water and add water to the edges of the container and between rows if there is enough room so you don't get the eggs wet. Put the cover back on and check them in another day.
If there is a little moisture on the sides it is ok, if there is a lot of moisture inside the box you may want to leave the top slightly ajar to let some of the water vapor out. Your eggs should rehydrate and get plump again. If they cave and change color to black and fuzzy I would think the neonate has died. Alish, days sound way to soon for them to be hatching.
Keep an eye on those eggs, they may be lacking moisture and drying out. If they were my eggs i would drop ONE drop of water next to each dented egg. If they remain dented, drop one more, and if they are still dented i leave them alone and see what happens cause ive done that to eggs and it took a couple of days for them to plump back up.
It usually takes anywhere from days, months. Thank you very much ill get straight on and do that how many days does it take for the eggs to hatch, as the info our reptile place has given us seems to be all wrong and really crap lol.!!! Julirs New Member. My last Veiled clutch was days short of 9 months. My babies are Hatching Hello all, i have my first clutch of veiled hatching now.
Two are already hatched and move, one did not make it out alive he opened the slit but didn't make it any further but i have one now that my boyfriend afraid that he was dead, but to our surprise he moved. The sack is still attached but we aren;t sure what to do next. He has been removed from the egg and i have placed him on a napkin on top of the tank that the two little hatch-lings are in.
He has moved a little several times so i think he is alive. Is there anything i can do to help this little dude out. Should i keep him near a light or should i put him back in the dark. Hello all, i have my first clutch of veiled hatching now. Dez Chamalot Chameleons. Hello Devila00 You can keep the baby in the light and see if he comes around. Keep him warm Sometimes baby's hatch with egg sacs still attached and they will fall off on their own.
If for some reason the baby is weak , there is not a whole lot you can do because they are so small. It may be a problem that happened in incubation or bad development. Unfortunately if this is the case you will have to let nature take its course Loosing baby's is the downside to breeding.
Hopfully this is not the case and the little one comes around. You can try to lightly mist him with a spray bottle fine mist but don't soak him. First off, I am new to the forum. I've used it for quite some time as a reference, but I had not registered until now.
So far I have 3 ity bity babies, and man are they just the cutest and toughest little things I have ever seen! I would have to say that it has been a pretty gratifying experience so far, and it's forced me to practice patience! The mother Creature laid 99 eggs at the very end of January, so it's been a little over 6 months of incubating, but they are here finally. She has always laid massive clutches of eggs, although I know that 1 or 2 of those were my fault for over feeding her.
I like to provide a wide range of food for my Chams for nutritional proposes and also because I love them and spoil them. I know I enjoy variety in my diet, so maybe they appreciate eating things other than crickets They always have access to Hibiscus and Pothos, and other feeders include; crickets, horn worms, Dubia roaches, super worms, calci worms, silk worms, and Creature has recently discovered that she like Blueberries which we enjoy snacking on together!
Once she starts roaming her enclosure, you will need to place her in a laying bin because she is looking for a place to dig. Your female chameleon will begin to dig a tunnel, then lay her eggs and bury them, filling the hole. Once this happens, return her to the cage and carefully dig up the eggs and store them in a cool dark location such as a closet for several months.
The lid of the container should have some air holes for some circulation, and vermiculite or perlite should be used as incubation media. Female chameleons, who are of the egg-laying variety, will still lay eggs even if a male is not present in their environment. Once your female chameleon reaches sexual maturity, it could start to produce eggs with or without a male present.
This second type of reproduction, called ovoviviparous reproduction, is much less common in reptiles and chameleons. With ovoviviparous reproduction, the animal will have a live birth after a gestational period of several months. With ovoviviparous reproduction, embryos develop in an egg inside the mother, but without the hard shell. The embryos will get their nutrition and everything they need from an attached yolk sac, rather than having a placental connection to get their nourishment like humans.
The hatchlings will begin eating very soon after birth but will require regular misting to keep them from dehydrating and also to promote their eating. Before eggs or live births, the male and female chameleons have to mate, and it all starts with a ritual. Chameleons are territorial, and the male chameleon will attempt to display his dominance over another with color changes and other signifiers.
If the female is interested in mating with the male, she will turn a pink color and allow his advances. The female chameleon will turn black, making hissing noises , gape, and even make attempts to bite the advancing male.
Breeding can take several hours, and owners need to check in as sometimes the male can become aggressive and hurt the female.
