Ten more!

On Friday, August 22nd, Mo'i was crawling around the upper part of her cage in an unusual way and the male, Igor was agitated as well. It didn't take long to notice a new, little baby Jackson's Chameleon clinging to the cage.

In all she had 10 (!) new offspring.

Chameleons are viviparous, which means they hold the eggs inside until they "hatch" and they are born live <ref> . The egg sacks come out very sticky, which must make sense for an animal that lives high up in the trees. After they are delivered, they sit for a short time and then out comes a squirming baby.

What a distracting way to start your work day! I got help from Linda, Jon, Matias, Caitlin and of course Maria.

A few even "hatched" in our hands -
