Is it an Egg?

[Cali Reaper]

i woke up to feed my female Chameleon and she started to poop and I have never encounter an egg from a chameleon but as she pooped, she also had a shaped up thing that looks like an egg but I was going to throwbit away because I am thinking it could be poop. By the picture tell me if it is poop or egg. I do not want to throw it away unless its poop.

It sort of looks like an egg. Do you have a laying bin?

 

[Cali Reaper]

I do not for her, I have one for the other female, okay so I will place a laying bin for her and see what happens.

 

[Fiona's Mom]

Definitely looks like egg.

 

[Chameleons4u]

That's a egg, I have a female that will drop a egg the day before she lays.

 

[Miss Lily]

Yep, it's an egg. She will really appreciate a laying tubs of she can lay her clutch properly. I use a damp mix of eco earth and play sand.

 

[Cali Reaper]

This is her but i felt her belly and I did not feel any eggs in her.

Is this big enough for her eggs to be laid in? Ofcours I will fill it to the top.

 

[Andee]

Definitely not big enough, it needs to be wider and longer. She is also definitely gravid, sometimes you can't feel the eggs, so that practice can be unreliable.

Would you say 2" wider and 2" longer? When you mean longer, from top to bottom?

 

[Andee]

She needs depth of at least 9 inches, though a foot would be better. And I would make it like 8 inches in length and width.

I use a 30 gallon Rubbermaid garbage can with about 12-15 inches of substrate for my females to dig & lay

What 30 gallons?? Thats like 6 water 5gallon bottles. Do you have a green house?

No greenhouse! I can put sticks in the substrate & a clamp lamp on the rim of the can for basking & let them dig and lay undisturbed!

Well I live in an apartment so I do not have much room for that so I got a flower pot instead 10' wide around and 12" deep, its 2.45 gal. pot.

 

[Cali Reaper]

Its been 2 days now she hasnt laid anymore eggs and I have laying bin for her. She has been chilling underneth the basking light. Should I be concerned?

Bump

She will pile up the dirt/sand so if it is not deeper than the soil there will be dirt everywhere.... How about at least a 5 gallon bucket?

the cage she is in won't fit anymore bigger than what I have for her, a 2.45 gallon flower pot 12" deep and 10"wide round.

I used one part sand 5 parts peat moss put a tarp or a paper block is over them so they don't get Disturbed. but that's definitely an egg . I just had that happen last week one egg next to a stool

I have cut a black trash bag and covered all four sides and I can see on the top if she is at the top off her cage or bottom. I am planning to get play sand mix it well with soil I have in the lay bin.
