I have not noticed being weak or , ill. I wouldn't know.. As for laying bins, I am recreating its natural environment, my cage has a coconut based substrate.
my female veild cham is on the dirt now, and of course has eggs inside, but i saw her wave her hand as if she was digging..? and every now and then actually move some dirt, maybe one or two times then stops..? whats this mean?
A few questions.
How long does it take once a female veiled to produce the eggs and then to lay them?
Do she lay them when instinct tells her 'time to come out'?
Breeding:

Don't let him bite loose flesh, it can cutt. Let it get the whole finger maybe going forward to prevent getting the loose flesh. Just feels like pressure on your finger. Usually since they are kinda slow, my hand is swift to get in, touch its body, and slowly move it, being gentle.

I think it's a marvelous creature and like it. It...
It used to just take the food out of my hand but now its just ridiculous. I want a chameleon taco now! I am just fed up with it at the moment. I threw all its worms in the cage, if its hungry it will have to find them.
Has anyone been able to teach a chameleon something? Maybe like trusting your hand in the cage?
Someone just gave me a veiled chameleon, I have had it for almost a month now and there is no pleasing this thing. No matter what I do, it will try and bite my fingers off.
It is a female...
