Thanks for your help last night. Felicity laid 37 eggs overnight which is much better than the 54 she did last year. She has been eating today and has made it up to her favourite sleeping spot tonight and is her usual light green sleepy colour (with a few specks of sand in places) so I think...

I do try not to let her see me. Obviously when she had her head in the sand she couldn't see me! I only look in on her occasionally just to make sure she's not suffocating, and even then I use a camera or mirror if possible. My husband keeps laughs at me cos i creep up to the cage and it looks...

Phew I just checked in on her and she's turned herself around and has gone really black so i'm not sure if she's laying or not. I think her eyes are open but can't be sure as i don't want to shine too much light in. At least I don't need to worry about her suffocating now.

Ok so I'm going to leave her in the sand. I've been following the regime of feeding less often and lower temps since her last clutch as she laid 54 eggs in October! That is something I never want to put her (or me!) through ever again. She doesn't look as bloated as last time so hopefully...

Well at the moment my lounge is 17 degrees C, and the viv will probably cool down to lower than this once the temp drops outside. She doesn't normally have any heat at night, but she's not usually surrounded by sand! I thought that they can't see red light? It's a spare that I've got for my...

But I can't see whether her head is buried or not. All I can see is her back legs and tail, and not much movement from them. And of course just because the sand hasn't collapsed around her back now, doesn't mean it won't collapse overnight. I'm in the UK and it's not exactly warm at the...

Hi everyone My female veiled is preparing to lay her second batch of (unfertilised) eggs, and has been digging in the sand for alot of today, although I can't be sure when she started as I was at work. She was digging when I got home at 3.30 and was more or less covered in sand, and is still...

Correction! Turns out she has done a poo, however it's stuck to the leaves under her favourite spot! Still a bit concerned about the extra eggs though, and would appreciate any comments you may have regarding my setup as I want to do my best for her

I'm a bit concerned today as I've come home to 2 eggs on the floor or her viv, and a wee (or whatever you should call the whitish stuff that isn't poo!) and she hasn't done a poo since she laid her eggs last thursday Chameleon Info: * Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your...

So when should i start it? She looks so skinny but I'm not sure how thin is normal for her age as I haven't had her all that long. The good news is that she's wandering around her viv with no problems, tagging food first time every time and puffing up at me whenever I try to go near her so...

Thanks for the advice everyone She is looking much happier today. I misted her well late Thursday and all day yesterday and she is now back to her lovely green rather than the near black she went when she was laying! I think the mis-aim must have been down to exhaustion as I watched her...

Thanks that makes really interesting reading :-) I've now finished sifting through the sand and she laid 51 eggs in total. She managed to climb part way up one of her branches to sleep so hopefully we're through the worst of it now

Thanks for your answers lindawaz Well she's finished now and I helped her fill the sand back in as she looked so wobbly bless her. She's eaten 2 wax worms off my hand and is now drinking the spray, but her aim was a bit off for the wax worms - she got my hand a couple of times before getting...

My veiled cham is about a year old and has been showing signs of needing to lay eggs for a while so i put a deep 10" square tupperware tub filled with playsand into her 2x2x3ft high viv. After 3 full days of digging in the sand (she even fell asleep in it. I dug her out each evening as I didn't...

Thanks! Are there any varieties I should avoid? Do I need to treat them or can i literally strip the bark and put them in?

Hi Can anyone recommend a cheap way to supply sufficient climbing accessories for my cham? The shop bought ones seem so expensive for a bit of wood! Thanks

Hi I have a prefab 4x1x1ft viv for my snake, and want to put my cham's viv (2x2x3ft) and cresties (1.5x1.5x2ft) on top. Is there a danger that the snake's viv won't hold up to the weight? I bought it from tranquility in Brighton but they've since closed down so i don't know and can't find out...

Thanks for all of your advice So I'm a bit confused now - if she doesn't come out of her own accord (by climbing onto my hand for example) should i pick her up and get her out? I'm a bit concerned I may lose a finger if I do! She has more or less finished her shed now which will hopefully...

Wow 20 views but no responses :-( Does anybody have any pearls of wisdom for me?

Hi I've recently got a female veiled cham. She's 11 months old and her previous owner wanted to increase her snake collection however she hasn't coped very well with the move. She was fine with her previous owners who got her out a 2 or 3 times a week, however she's not happy whenever I open...
