Gravid female veiled chameleon

So I would be extra cautious since you have no idea how many eggs she laid prior and if there were any issues.

Make sure her bin can hold a tunnel.

It does

You said..."I now think she has a vitamin a deficiency"...why do you think that?

 

[kinyonga]

I hope she can lay her eggs without any trouble...but it's bothering me the way the eggs are so visible sticking out that way. Might be nothing though.

 

[Carmella95]

First two pis is why I think vitamin a problems but just now have been doing what she does in the photo bit she drinks pees poop ok and moves around fine just making me worried

 

[Carmella95]

Here are the help questions. The more detail you provide, the better able we’ll be able to help figure out what may be going on with your girl.
Has she been lethargic? Staying low in her enclosure/not basking? Eyes closed during daytime? If yes to any, I’d be making the soonest vet appointment I could as she could be having problems laying.

You also need to give a multivitamin twice a month. Reptivite is a good one as it has preformed vitamin A.

I do but she stopped eating food so haven't been able to give it to her is why I'm worried about the vitamin deficiency but she is drinking water everyday

Truly the best way to figure out what is going on with her is a vet visit with X rays.

Ok will do how many days should I give her

I err on the side of caution, so wouldn’t delay if she were mine. From the looks of her, she is carrying lots of eggs and she may not be able to pass them. Often chams don’t show any signs that anything is wrong until it’s very late and then their prognosis is poor.

she is getting the powder with D3 daily and without D3 twice

Wait a minute.... You are giving D3 daily? Please tell me if you meant to say this. Can you take a pic of the supplements your using? Eyes closing does not only mean vitamin A issues. She has other stuff going on. And the fact that she is so heavy with eggs and went off food with the eyes closing screams other issues.

So she is getting D3 daily? It should be the other way around. Calcium without D3 daily and then calcium with D3, once every other week.
