The last few days my female veiled has been digging a hole in her laying bin and sitting in it about to lay her clutch. She slept in it overnight which made me a little worried. Now she left the hole and covered it back up as if she laid her eggs. However upon further inspection there are no...

Fecal Description...
Every day I feed about 10 crickets with calcium W/o D3 but the cham only eats about 5-6 seeing as the rest fall/climb to the bottom never to be seen by the cham is this a proper feeding regiment??
Also what can I do to prevent all of these crickets being wasted and just falling to their...
I purchased an Aquazamp low profile raindome with an additional sprayer. The sprayer works great for increasing humidity but the raindome doesn't necessarily rain. Once the water has built up a lot on the screen it just kind of comes down in one stream and doesn't really soak anything but the...
I just put in a new quite large terrarium and before it wasn't a problem to feed so now only two crickets mange to stay on the branches to get eaten, the rest just stay at the bottom and usually drown. How can you feed using a dish without drowning the crickets in calcium powder????
Thank you for the Advice
She is in the laying bin I made
The one thing i'm concerned about is that she didn't have any yellow spots ever to indicate that she was gravid.
And that instead of feeling eggs, i was feeling her smaller rib bones
sorry forgot to mention i have a basking light and back up ceramic bulb for when its cold at night.
what else do I need to change other than supplements??
just got home and I have to thaw out the play sand (Its -10 in slinger WI)
She is bright green and seems totally healthy......wierd.
still 90% sure she needs to lay though
She's not laying down per say shes standing on the ground (Should have worded better) and she moves if provoked
I just felt for eggs and i definitely felt them
Going to get supplies for a laying bin right now.

I currently have an Exo-Terra enclosure and I love the way that it looks and almost blends into the room. but I needed a much much taller enclosure so I went to screen. And a white screen with a potted plant sitting in it I feel would be kind of an eyesore. What can I do to I guess make it blend...
I recently purchased a 2'x2'x4' screen cage from DIY
I see a lot of screen cages on here that I know work great for the chameleon but they just don't look good. What are some things that I can do to pretty up a screen cage and still be the right thing to do for the cham?
Thank you so much for all the help
I'm definitely going to go with the DIY cage and a raindome system.
I'll probably do what balizar did with the plastic sheets except ill use plexiglass instead
That looks perfect!
What variety of plants do you suggest to fill the X-Large DIY cage?
Do you experience an Excess amount of water getting through the screen
One reason I like the glass is that I know nothing but the inside of the terrarium is going to get soaked
I mist once in the morning, when I get home and about an hour before the lights turn off
I am not currently using live plants but I plan to put a pothos plant in the new terrarium
I would use a screen terrarium if they made one with a glass base and a screen top. I need a good sealing bottom...
