This means it's more important to get liquids into the back of the mouth, so it doesn't go down the trachea of course.
Make sure she gets plenty of calcium and hydration now that she's laid, she should get very hungry and thirsty.......you have now got through your first chameleon egg-laying :)...
She look to be about 8 months old. It's a guess, because a lot depends on nutrition and temps she was kept at before. She does seem a little undernourished, but not too bad. Might be a problem if the laying doesn't go well, but we'll just have to hope it does.
I have to say, there doesn't seem...
Can you post pictures of him and the setup where you keep him?
If you can fill out as much detail as possible on the form it would help.

Hello, welcome to you and little Kodak.
For what seems to be the main question (about supplements) it would depend on the concentration of D3 in the powder. Some are designed to be for daily use. If you do need a different one then there are plenty of sites to buy from online, some of the...
Well, from all the information I think it seems like mbd is the most likely cause of the issue. You have caught it pretty early, so hopefully his bones won't actually deform now he is getting calcium supplements. Once the supplements have time to balance out it should get him back to feeling...
I am unsure why you have been force-feeding him if he stopped eating only 2 days ago? And why force-feed water?
The eye-rubbing thing is quite usual, they can look pretty weird when they do their eye-maintenance thing.
It is very difficult to trust pet stores staff, we have all heard lots of...
He is getting so much misting that I doubt it's dehydration. A veiled does not need that much water really. The white urate part of his poop suggests that he's fine. If it were yellowy or orange at all then it would indicate dehydration. He is young but apparently has had no calcium supplements...
Hi Jack, it would be really useful if you can give as much information as possible so people can rule things out and get a better idea - https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/
Congratulations on your new chameleon. There's lots to learn about different feeder insects for him (for example wax worms are not a healthy food - they are just too fatty. Chameleons do love them, but you should not give 5 a day. Maybe 1 if he's been good lol).
You don't need a night light, it...
The short answer is yes, it does look like that.
More information would be useful, especially your supplement schedule. It doesn't look like there is much foliage in there, but it could just be the close up pictures. Can you post some that show the whole enclosure?
Filling out this form would...
I think if you can fix it so he has somewhere to sit normally while the mister is going it would help him get used to it. I totally agree with NHenn and the others about chams never 100% getting used to it.
It's just a fact that sometimes we will have to mist them when they are not in the mood...
Yes, it's a horrible feeling. The most important thing is not to give up, like everyone else said. A fresh pair of eyes is a good idea because it's so easy to overlook something. Anyone you can enlist to help will be a great idea.
I was looking for a monitor lizard for hours and was so...
Hello, welcome :)
I agree with Nursemaia that it's probably a minor thing. Unless it's constant or lasts longer than his shedding I think it's nothing to worry about. When you are a new owner a chameleon cleaning his eye can look pretty weird.
You have a good basic idea of what he needs to stay...
He looks pretty good, but yes - increase his basking temp and give him a bit more foliage.
As long as his supplements are ok I think that will probably sort everything out.
It's difficult to over feed a male Veiled, he will naturally cut his own food intake when he feels the need (probably...
