Fat or Pregnant?

BECHARD4

Established Member
I have an approx. 9 month old female chameleon. She currently weights 122 grams. She looks pregnant but she is still eating.
We were feeding her very well in the beginning when she was little, but we have slowed down her feeding. Currently she gets two worms in the morning... which may consist of phoenix, silk, horned, butter or super worms. And 4 - 6 crickets every other day.
Her enclosure is 2X2X4 - with a hanging pothos and plenty of vines for climbing.
Lights are on from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm
She is still eating.
And yes we have a male but no she has not been with him.

Your thoughts... is she pregnant or just fat?
Much appreciated.

She looks like my preggers girl. I know they can develop infertile eggs and just seeing a male and having him in view can greaten the chances of this.
 
If she has never been with the male she is not fertile and will probably lay eggs in the next month or so. I personally would not slow her feeding down and let her eat as much as she wants.
Awesome looking!
 
I really like the drawer underneath! And your girl is beautiful! Make sure to set her up with a laying bin!

Thank you. My husband made the bottom cabinet... just to hide the water draining underneath. I do have a laying bin already in her enclosure for her.
Sorry.... picture is not that clear.
