Here are his answers:

• Your Chameleon - veiled chameleon, female, not sure. I have been taking care of her for 3 days
• Handling - Haven't handle her at all
• Feeding - I feed her with crickets and super worms, 4-5 crickets daily, usually wakes up at 8 am eats at 10am and sleeps at 9 pm, I'm not sure what gut-loading is
• Supplements - I have a multivitamin with d3 from the brand reptivite.
• Watering - I mist her cage, about every 1 hour and 30 minutes, I do not see her drinking.
• Fecal Description - Its a white and grey color mostly. It has never been tested to what I know
• History - Pet store didnt tell me anything about my chameleon before I bought her

Cage Info:

• Cage Type - it's the zilla tropical vertical kit
• Lighting - the heat lamp is from the zilla cage and the uvb bulb I cant rememberthe brand I know it's a 5.0. 8 am to 9 pm
• Temperature - i have my thermometer a little above of the middle of the cage and it's mostly around 75-80 F. At night it goes from 68 to 70 F. I measure them with the zilla thermometer
• Humidity - humidity lever are between 60 and 90. It wont drop lower than 60 and I after I must it it would go up to 100 for few minutes then to 90 and normally is on 80. The thermometer/humidity zilla that came with the cage
• Plants - I am not using alive plants.
• Placement - the cage is located on my room. There is a vent in my room and normally I have a fan on. The top of the cage is probably 4 or 5 feet away from the floor
• Location - central Texas. Austin, Texas

Current Problem - she has been digging in earth last 2 days and I also want to know her age.

So I took all the tips yall gave me yesterday, but I read that normally when they trying to lay eggs they are at the bottom of the cage and she has been at the highest of it all the time since yesterday around 6 PM

 

[Brodybreaux25]

I’d say she is trying to get out of her viv because she has not been able to find an acceptable place to lay in her viv.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Post a pic of the bin you gave her and her viv. You also have to give her privacy once she is in the bin, wrap her viv with a sheet so no one can see her and leave her alone. If you disturb her while laying she will abandon the bin and may become egg bound.

I'm making the bin right now

She may just be taking a break atm. One of my females just laid yesterday that was bred july 17. She dug three test holes before using the fourth hole 8 days after her first test hole. @Brodybreaux25 has given you solid advise on what to do for the lay bin.

So you didn’t take the advice given last night, you realize this is a time sensitive issue right?
