First Batch of Eggs

[BocaJan]

Could be she is done then. BTW, sand is good. I prefer sand. I used dirt for my first laying and the cham was stained dark and dirty afterwards until she shed. The shed was not light and flakey like most, but a little bit on the thick hard side with that dirt on it. I even tried to give her a bath to wash the dirt off but the color remained. Her poor little paws were black!

So, I now use sand. They come out of the laying container cleaner and the sand dries quickly and falls off them easily.

Is she eating?
Drinking?

Both eating and drinking.

I would watch her closely, but I think she may be done.
If she stops eating or show signs of wanting to dig (down at the bottom, pacing, etc.) you can put her back in the laying bucket.

Perfect, at least you now have the bucket even if she is done.....

i have heard....

i was in the pet shop the other day picking up bugs an asked about my female cham laying her first eggs and what should i do with them as they are infertile he laughed and said he had a few people who have said this and its not true all the eggs they lay are fertile and i should incubate them he seems to know his stuff as he provides the shop with chameleon all the time
p.s how old was your cham when she laid i cant wait for mine to do that

If she has not been mated then her eggs are infertile. Information like you received at a PET SHOP is not the best.

thanks i thought so but wasn't sure some animals do quick question is sand as a subtrate foe the cham a good idea or should i stick to bark

you should have nothing on the bottom of the cage, paper towels if you need them but no substrate at all. Meaning no dirt sand soil or anything to act as a "ground" because it could be ingested and you chameleon could get impacted which is a no no.
