Is she getting enough calcium? I know that during egg production she needs a little extra. I've never bred any chameleon, but have read that some members give liquid calcium twice a month to help their females along.
Two links you may find useful...
You are very, very, very welcome! I'm a real sucker for female veileds (because we have one and it's our first). :)
Would love an update in a week or so to know how you're both getting on. Best of luck!
I'm not sure exactly why, but it is advised that you put some large pebbles on top of the soil. The pebbles must be too large for him to eat and need to be cleaned and baked before use to remove anything nasty from them.
I honestly don't know the answer. I truly wish I did.
Right, I've just been doing some searching and have found these threads which are similar to your problem:

I too have been repeating that particular schedule, but only when the user's existing schedule would have definitely caused some problem (hypocalcemia or vitaminosis d). Apart from one case where I did not know about repashy calcium plus (I should've held my tongue or done my research before...
Oops, found a post similar to this. Sorry. I should've searched more thoroughly. :o

Hi everyone,
Currently we are using exo terra calcium, exo terra calcium d3 & Komodo multivitamin in the advised schedule for a veiled chameleon.
However, I see quite a few people using repashy calcium plus on here including quite a few trusted members.
I'm wondering if anyone knows any...
Samhain138, just to clarify there are two recommended/accepted supplementation schedules.
1) calcium (no d3) every feeding
calcium with d3 once every two weeks
Multivitamin once every two weeks
2) repashy calcium plus with every feeder
Anyway, how are your girl's colours today?
Sorry :D. TBH, they're probably my favourite feeders to work with! Much easier than crickets and locusts. They maybe just require a tiny little bit more care.
They look really sweet. Maybe even sweeter when they turn into moths :)
