Is my female veiled chameleon pregnant?

So, related question, with the females, I see you recommending that the lay bin be a permanent part of the enclosure. Are you adding drainage holes so it doesn't hold water? Do you have to keep a close eye on the moisture levels in the soil?

Yes, I use drainage holes in mine.

Make sure to thoroughly wash the play sand at least 3 times. You also might have to make a starter hole for her. Make sure to give her privacy (cover her cage and don’t let her see or hear you), and make sure there’s a couple of branches or vines leading towards the lay bin as well. Once you get the chance (after you correct your lay bin, etc.) could you fill out this form and post a pic of the enclosure, as well, please? https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

Also, how do you wash sand?

Also, how do you wash sand?

Put it in either a 5 gallon bucket or similar container and use a hose to stir it up and wash it out, or put it in a pillow case and run it through a hose or faucet

I’ll let @Brodybreaux25 or @jannb answer that one

Yes, drainage is a must or it will slowly collect water and your Cham will reject it. I cut a 1” hole in the bottom of my bin and then put down several sheets of fine mesh wire, each sheet running a different direction so the sand doesn’t slowly fall out. But it could be as simple as drilling several tiny holes in the lowest point of the side walls.

I'm glad I have not only boy children, but boy chams!

Human or chameleon, females are high maintenance!
