My female veiled chameleon is gravid again, and I'm not sure if there is anything else I can prepare...
Here is all her background info:
I've had Iggy the Veiled Chameleon for almost one year now, and she was a juvenile when I got her. She has a huge cage (big enough for multiple people to stand in) with lamps (heat, light, and plant growth light) and a mist king (15 seconds of spraying 1x per hour) and live plants (pothos). She has never had any health issues at all. I dust her food (crickets, bugs from outside, wax & meal worms) every day with calcium, 2 days every 2 weeks D3 and Multivitamin. She always has her moist sand box in the bottom of her cage with a pre-made tunnel. She laid eggs once before (3 months ago, July 5th). Her total amount of eggs was 61 which I understand is more than the average amount. She has never ever been bred. I read that the time between egg clutches is about 130 days, which are almost over. Recently she had been more active, most likely receptive. Now she is a bit fatter than usual. I already increased the layer of calcium powder on her food and always make sure she eats enough food to satisfy her.
Last time she laid her eggs I wasn't able reduce her temperature or food quantity after recovery like multiple websites suggest to keep females from producing as many eggs.
Is there way to see when she will lay her eggs? Is there anything I should change to keep her super healthy when she lays her eggs?
