<\/p>\n

In chameleons, there are only a few reports of females laying eggs in very close proximity to each other. Archaius tigris<\/em> is even known to lay eggs together. Such an observation has now also been made in Madagascar, more precisely in the Itremo Massif in the southern highlands of the island.<\/p>\n

In January this year, a female Furcifer minor<\/em> was observed laying eggs in the forest of Antsirankambiaty. Shortly after the first female had finished laying her eggs, a second female only 30 cm away also started to lay eggs (see a video here<\/a>). Two days later, a third Furcifer minor<\/em> female laid her eggs between the two existing nests.<\/p>\n

All three nests were dug into the sand of a riverbank about 2-3 metres from the water. The site was a rather sunny place with more than 5 hours of sunshine a day, so it might have been better suited for oviposition than the ground in the neighbouring forest fragment. However, it is also possible that the ongoing deforestation and thus the decreasing habitat is causing female Furcifer minor<\/em> to look for oviposition sites outside their actual habitat. It is unclear whether the third female is one of the first two that returned – unfortunately it was not possible to differentiate between them.<\/p>\n
