[serenaj25]

over the past week or so blue has been getting bigger and her permanent colors have developed and she could not be more beautiful!! i just thought i should share.

How old is blue? She looks like she is showing receptive colors. Do you have a laying bin ready?

I third this! She is a pretty and receptive girl!

 

[serenaj25]

yes, i have a laying bin in her cage ready for her to lay her eggs in. thank you for the info and concern!! i'm not sure about her age but my guess would be 6-7 months old

 

[serenaj25]

do you guys think a deep tupperware filled with moist eco earth is a good enough laying bin?

i'm worried that mine isn't big enough. i would say it's about 7-9 inches deep and 5 inches by 5 inches filled with moist eco earth. my female veiled has been very very restless and going to the bottom of the cage frequently

Mine own Doughnut is at it again and I will post here https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/doughnut-gravid-eggbound.147150/ this is what I went through it gets easier trust me. Relax you have Chameleon Forums to help you.

 

[serenaj25]

thank you all for the great information and support. as you can probably tell i have never dealt with this sort of thing before

 

[serenaj25]

also, i have not had her mate and i don't plan on it, but is it still possible for the eggs to be fertile?

No, that isn't big enough. I have no experience with chameleons that dig deep holes (mine lay in bins about 6" deep) but that size--5" x 5"--doesn't give her any room to choose where to dig. They need a lot more surface area than that. Think about it--the animal is bigger than 5"--where is she going to be as she moves all that dirt out of the hole? My chameleons' holes are about that size and they don't dig straight down, either.

It you get into trouble, a trash can will work.

She is beautiful!!

 

[serenaj25]

thank you all for your help and kind words about my girl

So hows it going she drop those eggs yet?

So hows it going she drop those eggs yet?

no. she has been not eating and her cage has been covered for a week now and she shows interest in the box but she never actually began digging.

 

[serenaj25]

her stomach has gotten large and i can see the eggs. i am getting very concerned and i can't get her any surgery.

 

[serenaj25]

as a side note i am using eco earth and it is very moist with a little plant in it too. it is a good size and i am worried about her because her stomach is getting big
