41 Veiled Chameleon eggs! need some help :)

[Ghost147]

well i stumbled apon 41 chameleon eggs at the pet shop i work at, so i got to take them home instead of them being thrown away. now they may not be fertile, I know Candling chameleon eggs is bad, so how can you tell if they are fertile or not?

if they are fertile then i may need someone to take them because im out of the country for 6 months to a year

thanks for the help!

heres a pic for anyone (theres a little black dot on the tops of all the eggs to know there original possision)

I don't know anything about chameleon egg care, but I know general egg care. Those are wayy too wet. That forest bedding is not a good substrate for hatching either. How in the world did 41 eggs get in there? How many chameleons are in the cage?

hey you still have the sig i made for you, lol, awsome!

and it was just one female and one male

and thats more potting soil then anything else for the eggs to hatch in.

i have to agree with Rhac, that looks much too moist for reptile eggs. other than that, i haven't the slightest idea! sorry!

thats how i hatched my bearded dragon eggs (which i had 3 clutches of 40+ eggs) and had a 98% hatch rate combined. and beardy eggs are laid in australias deserts. now for a chameleon which comes from a highly troppical place, this method should hopefully work just as well :) plus the picture was just after i misted in there.

by the way, thanks for using the sig i made you a while ago still!

41 eggs had to be seperate clutches, if the eggs survived from the first clutch until the rest of the clutches were laid then the caged environment they were laid in were probably good for hatching. Maybe your best bet was to leave them where they were and remove the parents? I don't know man... A chameleon expert hasn't read this yet? Someone who is reading this can help...

[Ghost147]

actually it was the only one clutch. veiled chameleons generaly lay between 12 to 80+ eggs a clutch. so this was averaged sized. my bearded dragon still holds the record (for my house) for 46 eggs in one clutch. which is a BIG number for a 1.5 year old beardy

Are the eggs still alive?
If they aren't fertile, they will collapse and mold within a few weeks.

I breed chameleons and the eggs don't look fertile to me, (should be white for the most part), but that could also be because of the medium being used- looks like cocos fiber- (it will dye the eggs). The medium looks a little too moist too..

Good luck with them!
