I could even see the stripes around the kneck comming through. I no longer have any more pygmy chams or eggs so I think i'll be out of this pygmy scene for a while. Fun while it lasted.

Sad to hear that. How did you incubate the eggs ?

When i incubate my eggs i use homus instead of vermiculit. I incubate the egg in little over normal room temperatur 23-25 degres celcius. I put the box with the eggs on top of the terrarium in my terrarium-room. The temps in there are between 22-26 degres celcius.

This has always worked almost perfect for me.

Hope you get luckier next time.

how long did the eggs incubate for at the higher temperatures? what did you store them in to incubate them?
