Drinking from the nozzle!

Hi everyone

Just a bit of advice. My little female veiled is now 9 months old and as a baby she ate loads. Recently she hasn't eaten for four days but is very active and seems to be drinking a fair bit more than she used to. When I put the spray bottle in the enclosure she actually comes forward and drinks from the nozzle, its very cute but something she has only just started doing. I let her free range from time to time as she loves to sit in her tree by the window. I used an old hat stand to hang her lights on so that she gets the UVB and heat when shes out of the enclosure. She doesn't really seem to like being in her enclosure much and constantly climbs and moves around. I keep handling to a minimum but she will sit on my hand when I do get her out. So my question is,do your chams sometimes not eat for a few days etc?
Thanks
 
Do you have a lay in set up for her? They do go a few days sometimes when getting ready to shed or just for the heck of it but with a female I would make sure she is set up to lay at all times.

Hi there
Thank you for the reply. I've had a laying bin in there for a month now and as you replied her light has gone off and she has gone to sleep on the floor of her enclosure which she has never done before!? Maybe the not eating,thirsty and now this is a sign of eggs?
 
Could be. Take some pictures of her when the lights come back on. If she's digging though just let her be.

She was still on the floor when her light came on but after ten mins she climbed up slowly. Here's a picture,she's flattened out
