So we got quite a surprise today...
The sitter called my hubby and said a baby lizard was walking around on the floor. He immediately assumed that one of our young girls open the door on our chameleon tank and that it crawled out.
She reassured him the doors were closed and the chameleons were where they were supposed to be. He came home from work to assess the situation and wouldn’t you know she had found over 15 baby lizards.
Yes we have a male and female Jackson Chameleon houses together but the male was added a little after st Patrick’s day. We figured at some point they would reproduce but this was way earlier than our resources informed us.
But indeed she had babies... the paternity test is still out but logic tells me she came to us this way. And on a side note this breed has live births! Which is why we never saw any eggs!!! The eggs are kept in an internal gestational sac where she incubates them for 7-9 months. Then at birth they are hatched and birthed almost simultaneously so they are considered live births.
I am sure you can imagine the scene. My 2 year old and 5 year old scouring the floor and walls frantically squealing with excitement every time they found a new one.
What an amazing day they have had! I only wish i could have witnessed it with them! If you look very close to the pic of the hardware cloth you can actually see bunches of them that crawled right through to get to the heat light!
