I just got our lady what she wanted (old lay bin) and refreshed her plants and set up. She seems much more settled!
Hopefully she will settle and if she’s has eggs will put them where they belong. Thanks for all your input everyone!! :)
She is not low in the cage, but just a little less active than usual - but still enjoys her free range time and moves around her enclosure. Her eyes are not closing at all during the day and she seems strong.
She’s also been opting not to bask as much the past week or so and was just shedding recently, but eats and drinks well, with good white urates and her eyes look healthy too. So just trying to play detective about her behaviour and colour.
You said..."The first time she laid eggs, she just started dropping them, then we realized and gave her privacy and she laid them...it's good that she laid them. How many did she lay and when?
Hello! Thanks for the post. The first time she laid eggs was Jan 2020 and had over 60 eggs, then with...
Thanks for mentioning that. The first time she laid eggs, she just started dropping them, then we realized and gave her privacy and she laid them. The second time she was roaming and restless and started to dig and so it was just a timing thing. This time she’s not very restless or digging but...

Thanks so much. Tomorrow I’m going to rearrange things for her,
give her the old lay bin and some privacy and maybe even a starter tunnel to give her some inspiration:) Isn’t that interesting that they would remember the particular bin that they know and like? Such fascinating little creatures!
Hello again! I am looking for your input again. Our Cham is still showing this coloration in her cage but when we are covering or partially covering her she doesn’t dig at all. We have a nice lay bin at the bottom but it’s not the same one she used the previous 2 times. Is it possible that:

Thanks so much:) It feels good to know it might not be that easy to figure out when they might lay. We’ll keep an eye on her and play it by ear:) Thank you!
Thank you for the advice - I will try that. I haven’t seen any digging yet so I was wondering if I’m wrong about her being close to laying...but the coloration and her shape is what is making me think otherwise. Much appreciated :)
Hello everyone! Our cham is showing what seems to be gravid coloration but she’s not digging yet. We have covered her cage a couple of times over the past few weeks to give her a chance to lay but she doesn’t seem interested - no digging at all. Should we wait until we see signs of her roaming...
