My Town Monday: BABY VEILED CHAMELEONS!!!

I was going to post about the La Jolla Rough Water Swim for this week's My Town Monday post. I got the kids off to school, walked the dog, fed the chameleons and opened incubator #1 to check on the veiled chameleon eggs...

SURPRISE!! A baby veiled chameleon was walking, more like lurching, around the deli dish!!!

I opened incubator #2...

Three more baby veiled emerging from eggs! (I placed a penny in the dish to give you perspective. No, no, I don't leave money in with the eggs.)

I'm holding the first beautiful baby!

Here are 3 baby veiled siblings exploring a shoe box, making each other's acquaintance, waiting for me to finish preparing their cage.

I am dancing around the house with joy! Not, of course, when I'm holding one of the babies! I am sending picture texts to Child #2 (the owner of the chameleons). He's in school and shouldn't be receiving texts. But, hey Mr. Principal, this is the miracle of life, reptile style!

Current status:

-3 babies completely out of his/her respective egg

-1 baby still dragging egg around

-1 baby with only his/her head out

43 eggs still to hatch

Oh, I cannot stop singing and dancing. I am so excited!

Mr. Summy phoned to tell me not to get TOO excited, as in we're NOT keeping 48 chameleons. Oh, but he knows me well. ;)
