Holy cow! I can't even imagine! My guess is that she probably had quite a shock between him invading her territory while gravid, and you rushing over to catch him. And then there's the fact that she is raising babies in her belly (inside the eggs), which is also taking a tole on her. I would...

Whoa! What a casque on that guy! What's your secret?

Ok. I have seen one or two of these before, in the pet stores. Not very common, though.

Too many worms can contribute to fat. They are ok as an occasional treat or change of diet but only very occasionally.

Judging by the feet, I'm guessing she is some kind of gecko, but I have never seen anything like that, either.

I know! Me too! I can't keep those things alive! It's too dry where I live. I had one that looked just like that one, but it didn't survive.

I think it's fat. Look how chunky her back legs are!

Wow! Those pitchers are huge! I wouldn't their dead bugs into them, because they need the similar of the big inside trying to escape to release their digestive enzymes. Also, something to watch for is that your cham doesn't accidentally fall into one of the pitchers. Those plants will eat chams...

Who is your local vet? Do you have a reptile specialist near you? Regardless of what she's doing, or how she's acting, you should take her in for a check up. The excessive thirst is certainly a concern. Chronic dehydration can also lead to death. I lost my male, Echo, to a stomach torsion and he...

Or as someone else mentioned, you can simplify the entire process by using Repashy Calcium Plus Lo D at every feeding. I have used it for all of my chams and bloodwork showed that all of the nutrient levels, as well as calcium, were well within normal ranges.

She is most definitely dehydrated. Her eyes are sunken in pretty severely. She also looks pretty chunky to me. Any idea how much she weighs?

She's not likely to do so. Also, all feedings should happen in the AM. This late in the day is absolutely a no-no. They need time to bask and digest their meals, which means you should always feed early in the day!

Give her the water, but do it slowly. Like dripping from the nozzle. Let her drink for as long as she needs to. It sounds like she could be dehydrated.

A long florescent type of bulb is better. That gives you a broader area of coverage.

Repashy LoD is what I use. I love it!

Yeah, it's definitely time to slow her down. And like I said, a very good source of information here on the forums is @jannb .

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - She is a year old female veiled chameleon Handling - I handle her about 30 minutes a day Feeding - I feed her about 10 medium crickets a day with the occasional Hornworm. I just recently switched to large crickets due to her size and age. Every now and then i...

The male Veiled is an absolutely gorgeous pic, but from a photographic standpoint, the composition is stunning in "Dark Lavender". Though call.

Personally, I would go back to the size of crickets that you know she can handle. Also, it's not good to feed a female cham every day. You should fill out the "help form" and also send a message to @jannb. She had invaluable knowledge regarding female chams.

There are certainly some holes in the information we have been given. Hopefully the OP will fill out the form so we can try to help. Either way, I do think a trip to the vet is warranted.
