Mine have assumed that pose at the times when I’ve given them a larger feeder. If the worm was the cause, he should have resumed his ‘normal’ positioning within a few minutes. The rule of thumb is any feeder larger than the space between their eyes is too big for them. If your guy is still...

I think mine only stopped when they became too heavy to walk upside down. Heck, if I could do it too, I would! 😂 Until he outgrows this, for burn prevention you want to elevate your basking light a couple of inches above the screen. Since it’s just temporary, I’ve always used little wire...

Yes, they need to have absolute privacy while digging and laying..they need to not only feel safe for themselves as they are in a very vulnerable situation on the ground, but they want to ensure that the area the deposit their precious babies will be safe. They have no idea that their eggs...

No, I don’t think she’s laid eggs yet. She hasn’t yet developed her big girl colors, but she’s definitely getting there. What part of the egg laying process do you need clarified? It’s definitely a lot of info to have thrown at you all at once, and can be quite an anxious time, but we are here...

She’s very pretty. 🤗 She is pretty chunky in the belly though. You have been overfeeding her and it may have caused her to produce a very large number of eggs. You don’t want to change how you feed her now! The eggs are already cooking and she needs the nutrition to finish them. Make sure her...

Don’t forget to vote! 😁

Hi and welcome! 🙂 You’ve been given excellent advisement and I confirm you appear to have a sweet & spicy young lady. Do make sure to read my blog on caring for your cutie’s egg production needs. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/ Not sure if you’re aware...

Your husbandry looks pretty good to my quick scan. I wonder about her being fed so much and her egg production. Can you post some current pics of all of her body? Different views if you can get them would really help.

How are you measuring basking temps? Are you using a thermometer gun, analog gauge, one with a wired probe end, etc?

Aww…little sweetie. She looks a tad thin to me, but I guess that’s what you mean about her casque. I haven’t had the joy of having a carpet chameleon, so afraid I can’t help you with their specifics. I’m not even sure what age is considered old for them. Has her uvb been changed lately? Are you...

Ok. Is he walking upside down on the screen? If so, you’ll need to rise your basking light a few inches give it so he doesn’t get burned. I just get small wire baskets from the dollar store to lift my lights, since it’s only until he gets too big to wok upside down like that. You may also need...

Can you post some pics of your enclosure? What are your basking and ambient temps? If your uvb is the standard T5 with either an Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0, the distance between basking branch and lights should be 8-9”.

Even though Tuesday officially ended a few minutes ago, just have to add the pic of Stella’s curly whirly that I got last week when I bothered her for new pics.

You have a very beautiful girl panther. 🥰 While this is written primarily for our veiled ladies, it absolutely applies for our sweet little panthers too. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/ If you have any questions or want to share more of your cutie...
