"That's because I was born yesterday!" (baby veiled)

There are 21 of them! I am feeding fruit flies and pinheads and its hard to know how much each one eats yet because they are just starting to eat. It takes a few days for them to start eating well. I have six more eggs to hatch. They pop their little heads out of the egg and stay that way for almost a day and then finish coming out.

It was a very difficult decision to choose my leaf chams over a veiled. I have wanted one for YEARS - literally, like since I was 10 and I'm now 48! Once I found out the "chameleons" I had were anoles and saw my first true chameleon.

Everytime I see one (baby or adult) I rethink my time and $$. I may end up with one sooner than I planned. Don't get me wrong...I love my little kids, one thing I really like is that they can be housed together. Right now the two girls are basking together...

Anyway, Sonia - he's a beaut!

I will probably be selling them on kingsnake when they are a little older. I will let you know when. Even I am not crazy enough to try and keep 27 babies! Although I would like to.
I am so hooked on this egg hatching process. I am always just so amazed when they hatch! I have baby crested gecko's and leopard geckos that hatched this week too. Boy am I busy all of a sudden!
Hey! I am a member of that club too. You know, the 40 something club!

Sonia... it this one of yours?
Great camera shot!!!!! What kind of camera are you using?

I used an Olympus C-4000 zoom. It's my first digital camera and I am very pleased with it's macro capabilities.
I am used to my 35mm Nikon F100 and that is my favorite camera, but the digital is neat too because it's so easy to post and e-mail the pictures. Of course the macro lense I have for the Nikon would put this lens to shame as I could get as close as I want to my subject and I could fill the frame with the tiniest object.
For example I could take a frame filling shot of just his eyeball if I wanted to with that lens.

Sonia,
Thanks for the camera info...
I will look into the new Olympus line.

I have been wanting to get a digital with better macro capabilities - although my original digital (a Sony) has served me very well in general.
