Finally, after a 79 day gruelling (Karen will tell you that!) incubation period, a little chameleon (brevicaudatus) has finally decided to pop out! My first home-made herp!
Aww, isn't he cute
The money shot
Him looking like a dinosaur
Him acting like a dinosaur
Exploring his enclosure!
Thanks for looking, I doubt you're as excited as I am, and thanks to Karen for being so patient when I wasn't !
Oh, and no more egg jokes

Thanks Karen (a father all ready! ), Louise and Stroud - yes, I'm about to order some pinheads and FFs - they're gonna eat a lot I feel. I ordered some pinheads a few weeks ago, when they were due to hatch so most are too big! Oh well, I'm painstakingly picking out the small ones for the time being!
And here's a picture of the happy couple:

They grow so quickly, my one must be 2 weeks now, and is huge (compared to the size he hatched out at). Good luck, I had 3 babies and the 1 left, be careful with the heat! How many babies you got? _________________

I have7 more eggs incubating (two more from this clutch), this is the only one hatched so far, but another looks sort of pipped - a tiny bit of 'goo' oozing out an a tiny split
And thanks redbelly!  _________________
