It has been about 9 months since they were laid and I was seeing if they were even fertile so I cut one egg open. I found the pink baby, and thought leusistic? So I decided to cut open another egg to see if there is a color difference and the other one is green??? Is this a true leusistic or what?? Also both babies are walking around but there eyes arent open yet, what is the chance that they will live?. PLEASE leave comments!!! THANKS ERIk

I dont know. Did you cut the baby our of the shell or did you you just slit it and it hatched on its own? Because I cut of they shell on one of my of my veileds and it didnt make it. I think they need to hatch on their own and squeeze out through the egg, but i dont really know (maybe it gets the fluid out of their lungs? But I gain I'm not sure). But I think you have a good chance. 9 months, they babies should be ready to go. Just keep them stimulated. Don't let them sleep all of the time. Hopefully his'hers eyes will open and the natural veiled instinct will take over, eating. But that is a very unique little guy you got there. I really hope he makes it. That would be an interesting looking cham. I know I really wasnt much help but that is a very exciting event and I just wanted to give my two cents. Good luck and keep the chams status posted.

Heya,

The probability of him being Leucistic is minimal. I am sorry to say but he looks like a baby veiled without colour pigment, that was denied his final stage of developement. Pigmentation forms right at the last stage. Do you keep the incubating eggs together or seperated?? This would explain why one is further developed than the other. I know the wait can be frustrating but this has most likely cost you two of your baby veileds.

What is your incubation temperature like?? Veileds who are incubated at 26 to 28 degrees Celsius will generally hatch in 6 to 7 months. No offence meant with this post so please don't take it the wrong way.

Good luck with the rest.
