I have a question about my gravid veild chameleon.

[Jairo1234]

My female is showing sign of gravid once I put close to a male I did mate them but I put them together to mate multiple days. Is there a way to know how far she is and when she acually got pregnant for I can know when she would acually lay her eggs ?

Here are some pictures of her once I showed the male to her...

It’s better to just leave a lay bin in her enclosure. That way she can lay her eggs when she’s ready.

She should have started to repel him once she was gravid...so the point at which she started rocking back and forth, hissing, gaping at the male and taking on the pattern shown in your photos she would have been gravid. Laying should occur 30 to 40 days after that first time showing those colors.

This may just mean she is to lay soon. As long everything is normal she should be fine

Oh ok it’s not that’s long that I mated them I think the 5th or 11th of this month so i dont know if that is true but and also am yes them the 2nd of this month but i dont know when she acually got pregnant so maby so but I don’t know if that is for sure. But she stopped eating aloe since she got mated like some days and even weeks so I do think it’s because of here gravid stage. What does any one else think?

As long as she is acting normal I wouldn't worry about her eating a bit less.

Oh ok thanks and also if she is close to laying would she stop eating completely?

Some of them do and some don't. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer. To some extent it depends on how many eggs they're carrying.
