Thank you guys. I was thinking about getting an autopsy, but i would rather just stick with a 'natural death'. I would constantly kick myself if i found out it could've been prevented. The only thing that comes to mind that was 'different' with her diet and what not was that i got crickets at a...
Here it is:
Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon – Female Veiled Chameleon, Approx. 3 years old. In my care since birth.
• Handling – Very rarely.
• Feeding – Crickets/Mealworms/Greens and occasional reptile safe baby food. Tried Fruit Flies, but she was too lazy to go for them :P 10 crickets...
My female Veiled Chameleon passed away this morning. She was about 3 years old. Is this a typical life-span for females? She has always been in good health, only had one clutch of eggs [not fertile]. I noticed last night that her eyes were sunken in a bit and she seemed tired. It was around 9...
I have been keeping a close eye on her all this weekend. I took the sheet we had covering her down last night as she hasn't been at the bottom of the tank at all. I've watched her drink water off the plants, and she's been scarfing down on calcium dusted mealworms and kale. She has also pooped...
This is my first time with a chameleon laying eggs. I wasn't informed when i purchased her that even if they've never been bred they can lay eggs. Most chams prefer to dig in a sand mixture, and can dig very very deep holes. Poot dug in total 4 holes, and finally picked one that fit her needs...
This is Poot's first time laying, they are infertile eggs. I finally checking her tank this weekend and found in total 20 eggs. Is that a small amount? I've heard of them being able to lay up to 100. She has been eating, and drinking..back to her same self. :D
i haven't watched her dig holes. I have been leaving her alone, beside's turning her light on, misting and turning her light off. So no, she hasn't seen me. The eggs are 'together' not spread around the tank. She looks healthy, alert and she ate last night. I still have her tank covered with a...
She has dug multiple holes, none have been filled in, that i can see..i haven't been looking in on her too much as i know you are supposed to leave her alone. So she might've covered one up that i can not see. The eggs were not in a nest, they were ontop of the laying bin, two were covered...
well, i know she is feeling better today. I checked on her when i first got home and she is back to her fiesty self. She has always hissed and struck at us since we got her, so we tend to just leave her alone, i know it just stresses her out. For the past couple days she has been very...
I have a Veiled Chameleon, she is about a year and a half old, tiny for her age as i believe her size might have been stunted from previous owner not carrying for her. Never been housed with a male, I've had her for a year. She began to dig last Thursday...would take a break, go back down and...

My Veiled Chameleon is almost 2 years old, she's never been breed. Always housed by herself. On Wednesday night I saw her digging behind her waterfall. I did a little bit of research yesterday as i found that behavior to be a little weird, and found that she needs to lay eggs. We first added a...
How deep should I make it? I won't be home for another 4 hours, do you think she'll be ok until then? She's my little Poot haha, i don't want something to happen to her...
