In October 2007, Ginger, the mother of our spring 2007 chameleon babies, dug a nest in a plant pot. She had not mated since June 2006, but female veiled chameleons are capable of storing sperm. We excavated more than 60 eggs from the nest and set them up in an incubator. FORTUNATELY (says Dr. Fink) they were not fertile. Although we had found homes for all of the babies born in spring 2007, some of us (well, Dr. Fink) didn't really want to go through another round of chameleon child care.
