So sorry you lost it…but it may have been damaged too much by the cold and other things going on in its life before you found it. ❤️

I remember…you brought the frozen brown anole into your house to try to save it. Did you put it in a different room than your chameleon? Could your chameleon see it? Sorry you lost the anole…you gave it a chance at a longer life…but it might have been it’s time to go when you found it. ☹️ Is...

Please do start your own thread so we don’t have to keep rereading the OP’s posts in order to get to yours…in the meantime though…your female needs to have a proper lay box set up asap…and she needs complete privacy so she will lay her eggs and not become eggbound, or worse. Here you go…...

Please, please, do not let her even catch a glimpse of you when she’s digging!! You will make her abandon the hole and the digging and push her to egg binding if she’s not already there. You said…”she is still digging and is now sitting with her back end in one of the tunnels” …hopefully she is...
