My 18 month veiled laid her first clutch of infertal eggs in her laying bin. When should I expect her to lay again? Should I keep a bin in her enclosure at all times from now on?
Thanks

Adding plant.
I added a corn plant or Dracaena plant and it's been 2 days but she's still eating the soil and hasn't touched the plant. I'll try adding other kinds of plants and see if that helps. What variety of plant is most widely accepted to nibble on by Veileds? What seem to be thier...
I read on the internet that some keepers put a branch in the shower and let thier chams take a 20 minute warm shower 2 to 3 times a week. Is that safe for the chams to use untreated tap water from the shower? What if they start drinking the water as I'm sure they would? I think that my veiled...
What does it mean when my Veiled female is a light green with dark spots? Is it contentment or stress? I heard it was from her being content, but would like the opinion of an expierienced handler. Thanks:confused:
Baby albino leopard.

Hi all of you, thank you for all the great information and all the tips and especially the warm welcome. I will be getting her a laying bin ASAP and will be buying her live plants today. It kind of freaked me out about the egg laying stuff:eek:so now I'm...
Wow, that's large!
A five gallon bucket would take up most of her house:eek:. I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to fit something like that in her enclosure, with all her climbing tree, branches and vines. But if that's what she needs to be healthy then I will make it happen for her...
My only other reptiles are a western painted turtle named art (short for Artist) and 7 brown anoles. 1 male named Behemoth(Bob) and 2 females named Betty and Boop. The females laid 10 eggs so far and 4 of them have hatched. I've had the adults since October of this year and the first egg hatched...
My Fiona (female Veiled) is 10 months old so I want to know what a decent size laying bin should be, how deep, how wide, and what type of substrate to use? Do I need to keep it in her house always or just when she shows signs of laying eggs? If there are signs? I'm pretty freaked out:eek:about...
Once I've selected the plants to put in my chams house, how do I prepare them to go in? Do I need to wash off the leaves and the roots and replant them in new soil that is organic and not full of man made plant growth stuff? I found some Hibiscus, Crotons, and Golden Pothos at Wal-mart but they...
What are blue bottle flies?
What are blue bottle flies and are they good for chams or am I being naive? If not then what are they and how do I get them, I'd like to give my Fiona a good variety of treats to eat.:confused:
Thanks for the advice on feeding.
I appreciate all the feedback I can get, thank you for replying and giving me some good tips. I am new to keeping chams so I know some of my questions are kind of common sence but I rather be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to the health of my...
I was told to feed her every other day but she seems to always be hungry and hunting for food. I feed her 10 gut loaded large crickets every other day and mix in some superworms, lobster roaches and waxworms every so often dusted twice a week with calcium and vitamin supplements. She is 10...
Thanks for the help.
Thank you all for all your sugestions, they were all very helpful and i will put the bandanas up to help with look and humidity until I get some shower curtains from the dollar store and cut them to size and try that way also and see what looks and works better. Fiona (my...
Should I have some sort of bakdrop for my cham's house? I have a Repti breeze enclosure and don't want to interfear with the air flow but I'm not sure if the plain white wall behind it is detrimental to the well being of my cham psyche as it is with other reptiles and amphibians. I would like to...
