However, have you ever tried candling the eggs? That will tell you immediately if they are fertile or infertile. That's how I check my Chameleon eggs and Bearded Dragon eggs. If they're not fertile, it's basically a waste of time. But it's still awesome to witness! But, there is nothing cuter than a baby Cham or Beardie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-61985407639265316852009-06-05T13:31:44.758-07:002009-06-05T13:31:44.758-07:00Wow!

What fun you're having! You might wait more than a month to see how the little ones develop.
