Chameleo cristatus, not sure if she wants to lay eggs or not!!!

[ssshabestari]

Hi everybody,
I've got a pair of Chameleo cristatus two weeks ago(they are both around 2 years old and are wild caught). they are now in a cage with 100*60*50cm dimensions. with Temperature of 30 C in days and 25 C in nights. the humidity is around 60 %.

today the female one began to dig the ground 4 times. but as the substance of the ground is 3cm thick she couldn't dig further. Is she going to lay eggs?
if yes what should I do?
I've put a container full of sand which is 10 cm deep in the cage.
because now here is night they are both in sleep. but tomorrow I'll put some Photos from her here.

thanks very much

Hello from Southern Germany

You need more substrate and more different forms of it. Peat, peat/sand mixture, coconutfibre etc.
Whats important too: Seperate the male from the female immediately. His appearance is pure stress for her, especially when she is trying to lay her eggs
