Abstract
Female panther chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) were exposed to either high- or low-doses of ultraviolet-B light prior to egg production. One egg from each clutch from each female was analyzed for vitamin-D content while the remaining eggs were allowed to hatch. The study found that higher circulating 25(OD)D3 concentrations in females resulted in higher vitamin-D content of the eggs and higher hatch rates.
