"Incubation Phenomena"

ChamaeleoCanopy Aug 10, 2007 08:08 AM

I have been breeding Veiled Chameleons for about 3 years now. I have never been able to figure out how this happened, but it did. V/C Clutch(063ct) hatched 07-23-07. About a week after they hatched I went in to my reptile room on a daily feed/cage cleaning schedule. I was transfering the baby chameleons into another cage and checking the sex of them. I had 57 males and 6 females. I have never had more males then females in all of the clutches I have incubated. The only thing did differently with this batch was slowly brought the temprature up from 67 degrees up to 82 degrees. The eggs were placed in a clear plastic deli container. The containers were filled half way with a Coco-fiber/perlite/vermaculite mixture W/ 2-1 water ratio. The 63 of the 67 eggs hatched in 182 days. I am doing this same schedule for my other 4 clutches.

This is very interesting. I look forward to hearing what happens with your other clutches!

I would post this on the main chameleon forum too....more people will likely read it there.
