Hey All, I'm fairly new chameleon owner, I have done some research and read most of the checklist on how to care for a chameleon here. Although could not find any questions related to my concern with my female Veiled; She laid her first clutch of eggs when she was about 13 Months old (about 50 eggs - I know its quite much and her diet was adjusted) around Nov 2010. Then about 3 weeks after and she's almost back to her normal self, she has a normal fecal matter but with an egg extra daily. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Any information or suggestion is much appreciated and if please let me know if more information or picture is needed.
Thanks,
