Hi all, I am in the uk and have just come across the site and thought i would ask for some advice. I rescued a veiled cham nearly weeks ago, she was kept in a small viv with a iguana,all they had was one small peice of log on the floor to climb on, she looked to me to be under weight and on getting ger home she feed straight away and has seemed quite happy and active up untill yesterday, she has started to go down to the bottom of her enclosure and is changing to a much darker colour, she is still eating and drinking but has become a little agressive when i go in to feed/mist her, her temps and humidity are ok so i dont know what the problem could be.
I am told she is 2 years old and has bred befor she is suposed to like a bit of fruit and veg but has never eaten any for me just locust,crickets and meal worms all gut loaded with added chameleon dust, although she is more inclined to eat the meal worms.
Here is a few pictures but she is darker than she looks.
Any advice please.

Im not an expert, but from reading around I would say she's wanting to lay some eggs.

Do you have anything for her to lay the eggs in?

Well her enclosure has around 4-5 inches of sterile soil in but i can put more in or a container, i thought they went of there food befor laying she still eats but only the meal worms have tried her again with locust this morning but does not sem interested.

Last time my female panther laid (fertile eggs), she never went of her food as she typically does :eek: so watch out!
 
Her enclosure shouldnt have any soil in it...you should make her and egg laying place by either doing a very large bucket or a small garbage can...i personally like playsand from home depot for egg laying. Many use soil.
