I am forwarding this from the chameleon list. Maybe someone here can
answer it.

A couple of months ago I took 2 double eggs out of my community
aquaterrarium. I assumed that they were Phelsuma madagascarensis grandis
eggs. I've had these before and they were precisely the right size,
color
and shape. One of the double eggs was adhesive and the other not.
Someone
(I think it was Don wells) said that the adhesive egg(s) would likely be
infertile. He may have right because the adhesive egg hasn't grown any
while the non-adhesive egg(s) got significantly larger. Well, 1/2 of
the
non-adhesive egg just hatched and much to my surprise, the baby looks
nothing like a grandis and looks awfully like a Platysaurus although
maybe
it could be a Lacerta. I'm befuddled because I can't imagine a small
Platysaurus laying a double egg this big. So my question is: does anyone
know if Platysaurus lays double eggs like a grandis? How about Lacertas?
Most of my lizard books are on chams and the few general lizard books I
have
don't tell me what I need to know. Feel free to answer off-list.
