Confused and worried

[CleaTheChameleon]

Hey everyone as most of you know Clea was breed, and tomorrow will be 40 days tomorrow since she was breed. She is still eating and she has been on her UVB light for 4 days and today i cut a big hole on the top of the sheet to place the basking spot with out it touching the sheet. Maybe it wasn't hot enough for her to lay? Im confused and worried. I just hope she will be fine. What do you guys think? Sh also has not dug any holes, or dropped any eggs.

What size laying bin do you have? Are you sure that she has eggs? Post some pictures. Camille would never lay in a regular laying bin. I have to bring in the giant trash can (the one with wheels like you see on the side of the street) for her every time. Here's a pic of it :https://www.chameleonforums.com/camilles-eggs-43-them-they-fertile-28568/

I have a 12-14 inch deep laying bin in the cage with top soil and sand mixed.

Here are 2 pics of the eggs that i see in her and i will try to post some more in a second

She looks like she has eggs. How deep is the laying bin? It needs to be about 10 to 12 inches deep in sand/soil.

thats how deep it is

 

[Brad Ramsey]

Is there a branch going down into the sand for her to access the laying area?
If she is still eating, it's probably not quite time.
Don't worry, they know what to do.

she has 2 vines that she can get from into the bin

 

[jannb]

I don't see the vines.....try puting a branch in the box so she can go in and out. The last time Camille laid she ate the day before laying.

The vine is right at the top right corner but i just put a stick at the top left edge that goes all the way up so she can climb in and out from the bin on that stick

 

[nightcrawler]

on a lighter note I used to have the same sheets as thos that you cut up.
I hope everything goes well, and she looks really nice.

Im just surprised she hasnt shown gravid colors. Personally I would use a deeper bin.

 

[CleaTheChameleon]

Nightcrawler- oh LOL . Thank you. Lizardlover- I'm still debating that. Im going to see if she will show any interest in this bin first

Camille would never show interest in a regular laying bin but would start digging as soon as I put her in the trash can. Luie and Camille mated on July 10th and she laid on Aug. 5th........27 days after mating.

It almost seems like the mating didnt take, by day 40 she should be scratching away at something. In the photo i couldnt see any egg bumps myself. I say give it another 10 days or so and if she is still acting normal then it might be time to try it again.

 

[CleaTheChameleon]

I will see if I can find them. Thank you angelo

I was told when I left clea ok her date that they did it a couple times and I'm starting to feel the egg in her but she hates when I touch her there
