Help Support Mantidforum:
When i started really getting into chameleons I joined www.chameleonforums.com . there is tons of info that get into detail about breeding and the color displays and everything else. It is like the mantid forum for chameleons, lol.
If you ever run across Mellers chameleons, Im looking for some.

Today, it seems she has "discovered" her laying bin and she's been digging all day. She's a dirty little thing. It looks like the tunnel is holding and she's getting pretty deep. I have yet to see her turned around to lay. I'll be peeking in on her throughout the day, as I have put a sheet up for her to have privacy.

Maybe an inch. They are like rubbery, squishy jelly beans.

Are you selling some when they hatch?

They are not fertile. Maybe next time. If next time it takes 6-9 months of incubation before they hatch. So maybe, in a year I might have babies.

Okey
ooo i forgot to add when you are digging them up, take a marker and put a dot on the egg before you remove them. Then have to stay in the same position as they were laid or they wont hatch. Just when your digging them up put a dot on them and place them that side up in the incubator. Oh yeah hatchrite is the best substrate i have used.

No worries on this clutch, as they are infertile. I did learn on the chameleon forum you don't have to mark the eggs if dug up immediately, as there has not been enough time for an air pocket to form in the egg. I also learned to NOT wash them. Good thing they were duds.

The infertile eggs were sent off to a chameleon forum member to feed an egg eating snake. 
This is the female molting for the first time after laying. She was so dirty and lost a lot of color and has been pretty dull lately. She was not happy with shedding, but is looking a lot nicer. The boy is getting bigger every day, it seems. He is now quite a bit larger than the female.

I thought I had posted this here, but it seems I didn't. Here's a current photo of my boy "fired up". "Me so horny. Me love you long time"
and these are his "just hanging out" colors.

He is a handfull. :lol: People talk of veiled being mean, but I think they are just temperamental. He always acts like he's gonna bite me and hisses at me when I try to get him out. The other day he must have been half asleep or something, but I was able to stick my hand in and he got right on with no problems. I thought it was the beginning of something. NOT! Next day, back to same old pissy self. Gotta love em. :wub:
