When does he do this? How often does he do it?

Her plumpness worries me.I think she’s carrying a big load of eggs and that can be trouble. If she starts to decline, you will need to get her to a good chameleon vet immediately. Decline…sitting low in the branches, sleeping during the day, lethargic, etc. Even if she does have a lot of eggs...

I think the real truth of what he’s doing is trying to …putting this as politely as I can…”enjoy himself”.

Well done getting him to that age! He must have a good constitution to have done so well too…have to give him some credit too!

So sorry to hear about the issues going on with some members here. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers…may all be well in the end. I hope Eustice finds a place to stay too. ❤️🤞

Welcome to the forum…and happy birthday in a couple of days! You said you are using minerall…I don’t think it contains vitamins. You should be using a vitamin powder with prEfromed vitamin A and D3 twice a month lightly in addition to a phos free calcium powder on the other feedings/days. It...

Sounds like a good session! Glad she did well at it…she’s a trooper! You did well too!

And what was said about her condition/situation?

You said…”we went on a little field tip to my vet class (she did great)…vet class? Explain please?!

female veiled chameleon about 1.5-2 years old I think. Been in my care for a little over a year. She’s handled about two times a week gently with food as a reward. She doesn’t like human interaction much though, so I try to respect her boundaries. She’s feed once a day. Usually a mix of...

Her Color and size, etc. indicate that she is sexually mature and producing eggs. Please read the link @Ghostbirb gave you to @MissSkittles blog and pay particular attention to the feeding and temperature control…although, if she is full of eggs the feeding amount won’t change the number of eggs...

I looked at those photos. I need to see all of her…not hidden by leaves. She looks like she might be full of eggs and her husbandry and the lack of a laying bin will push her to develop reproductive issues and likely die if it’s not solved.

Welcome to the forum! Can you please post some photos of your chameleon so we can see all of her from the side? Are you aware that veiled females can lay eggs without having been mated and require different treatment/husbandry to some extent then we give the males? She needs a proper lay bin...

Female veiled chameleons will strip pathos plants bare…not one leaf will be left when they do it. Males aren’t usually like that.
