I now have 21 Nosey Be Panther babies looking up at me and the darn little things are big Hydei holdouts! I give them both kinds of flies but they ignore the small ones and want only the big ones. The Hydei ones. I just had to order 3 more cultures from Ed's Fly Meat.
The babies all look great so far keep your fingers crossed for me. This is the coolest thing ever and something I have been wanting to do for the last 5 years and I finally have accomplished it.
I am super busy but will try posting more often as I have some amazing cham stories (good and bad) ones.
Everyone is still alive but it is sad dealing with an aging cham. Especially when he is your pride and joy! At least his babies are here to pass on his genes when he is gone.

Hey Sonia! This is great! I am so glad that you do have Sal's progeny to carry on his "tough ol' guy" bloodline. How many will you keep???? Right now you probably want them all!

Congrats to you! Luna says Hi

Yeah right now I want them all but wait till the cricket and silkworm bills hit. Imagine feeding 29 chameleons, ooops make that 30. Now only one egg remains.
The funny thing is 22 eggs were laid on Dec 23rd last year.
Several collapsed and only 19 remained. Then she double clutched and laid 20 more eggs from the same mating on Feb 14th but due to my mistake the second time I provided her with laying medium that was a bit too wet so when I dug them up some eggs were soggy and all but 4 collapsed. Those 4 started hatching one week after the last clutch and all but one have hatched so far. Both clutches hatched now even though they were laid 2 months apart. The oldest ones are approx 10 days old and the youngest one hatched today. The first clutch hatched at just about 10 months and the second at just over 8 months. They are so cute they are already posturing and jutting out their little chins and doing the chameleon shake/yawn looking thing.

Funny - my three month onld Ambilobe zaps all of the resident fruit flies that make it into his cage (melanogaster, no flying hydei here).

They have so many flies they can pick and choose.
I give them free rein to as many as they can eat all day long at this age. Looks like they are starting on 1/8th to 3/16 crickets already because today they prefer those over the flies.
