Hi
No offense taken dont worry, and I understand about the genetic issue. The eggs I recieved wouldnt have made it anyway. They were too far underdeveloped. I do wish I could have gotten one though, she was a tough little girl and I think she would have had some strong little babies. The vet was astounded she was still as active (and hostile)as she was with what was going on in her. I dont think it was really bad genetics that happened it was just bad luck and not getting enough nutrients (old supplement, not drinking, me not being there etc). I think that at one point she had a fall which caused some major problems due to the 3 broken eggs on the right side. Oh well! Thanks for the comment though.

>>I am really sorry to hear about your loss. It's never easy losing a pet to anything. However I also just wanted to say something about potentially incubating some of the saved eggs. As far as I know you and the vet were unable to find the true root of the problem. So would you really want to risk any of the potential young ending up the same way. This may be a fluke or a real genetic problem. Veileds are being inbred left, right and center. I am not saying that you do this so please don't take it the wrong way. But there is something truely going wrong in my eyes with the way that some chameleon species are being mass produced. We must keep in mind the law of nature. The strong survive and the weak don't. I am drifting from my point, but I just wanted to make you aware that incubating her eggs may bring the same problems with some of the young if or when they hatch.
