Question:

do i need an incubator to hatch panther chameleon eggs?

i was going to buy one but then i talked to like 3 different breeders that say they dont even use uncubators just put them in hatchrite and keep them in room temp?

Answer:

Hi sure its posible to hatch eggs with out an incubator BUT if the eggs were within the refrigerator it could have killed the membrane. so you are going to have to purchase new ones I new a girl who was once in poor health and needed to keep in mattress so she saved the electrical blanket on and became them two times an afternoon they hatched into satisfactory little chickens! you would take a look at that? goodluck )
Panther chameleon eggs seem to tolerate a wide range of temperatures during incubation. These temperatures seem to influence the duration of incubation: from 180-365 days. In the incubator, the eggs should be kept in vermiculite with an average moisture of 0.7 parts water, and 1 part vermiculite. Too much moisture can cause egg bursting and death by suffocation. Incubation of panther chameleon eggs kept at the same moisture ratio stated earlier at a day-to-night fluctuation of 65°-78°F hatch in 7-10 months. If you can match these temperature and humidity conditions in your home, then there is no need for an incubator. To be safe, I would get one until you establish a breeding method that you feel 100% comfortable with, if you plan to continue breeding. If you incubate at about 72-73 degrees, you should see hatching between 8-10 months.
