Is she pregnant???

[maryam]

this is my new chameleon

This is her story
My brother's friend gave this chameleon to me, he said he did not know to take care of her
He did not feed her for days, then fed her a piece of lettuce only
I took it, and it was pale (white) too lazyand so cold
I put it with my chameleon, fed it daily, raised the level of heat, and also drank water, and I looked at it intensively
Now I have taken care of him a month ago
Now he is eating well, 10 insects a day, he became more lively and the color is brighter, and I saw him mating with the other chameleon

I see that the belly is swollen

my quastion is : Is she pregnant???​

There are only 3 pictures of her, the fourth image of the old male chameleon with the new chameleon​

Are they housed together? She might be pregnant. Would you be ready for babies if she is? Is she back to full health?

If they mated, the female is almost certainly going to lay eggs. You should give her her own seperate enclosure with a proper "laying bin" inside or just fill the bottom with proper type and amound of substrate.

I'll be ready! If it is pregnant

How will you be ready? Caring for babies is no easy task, and requires lots of time and money.

From the pictures I can say that they look pretty healthy, but it's not possible to be sure if she's pregnant.

Have you bred chameleons before?

Well, I will bring a pot of plants and fill it with sand and a little water and maybe a small plant, and put the chameleon by it, then collect the eggs carefully and put them in cans with sand, and the cover be pierced and at a temperature and humidity

I'm talking about raising the babies.

Raising babies is not easy.im not saying it’s hard work but it’s important work to insure their survival. I had 50 eggs and all hatched and it’s been over a month now and they are eating machines. It’s not cheap to feed them. Plus they need constant care. Good luck

Your ideas of a laying site and way to incubate the eggs needs improvement/adjustment.

For a laying bin...I recommend an opaque container at least 12" x 12" deep x 8" (bigger is better) filled with washed playsand that is moist enough to hold a tunnel.

The incubating containers I use are Tupperware type containers the size of a shoebox. I fill them half full with slightly moist coarse vermiculite with dents made in the vermiculite about an inch apart in all directions to lay the eggs in. The lid should be on the container all the time except while you're putting the eggs inside of course to keep the hmidity in. To test the vermiculite for moisture ...take a fistfull and squeeze it...no more than a drop or two of water should be able to be squeezed out. Put the container somewhere where it's dark and the temperature will stay at about 74F.

You will need to separate them once she is repelling him because she is gravid...or she will attack him. Even if she doesn't attack right away the stress can kill them.

Thank you so much ! I know about this before, thanks for the details
