Just a few questions.

I am looking into upgrading my enclosure. I have a 16x16 and I was wondering if a 24x24x48 is big enough for her. And to make a laying bin at the bottom for her.
I'm also super nervous and anxious about her going thru the whole laying part. Lol but I got great info on here about it. I'm just still unsure about how many feeders I should he feeding her a day and how will I know she is ready to lay.
 
Your chameleon is still young if im correct.. you wont have to worry about laying for a little while. But good to be prepared.

Yep, a 2x2x4 is big enough.

While she is still a baby she should be taking down about 15+ small feeders a day. As she gets older you will want to lower her basking temperature to around 82 degrees, and then feed around 5 crickets every other day. This will reduce the frequency and size of her clutches, making it easier on her. They can lay eggs as early at 5-6 months, but normally they are a bit older than that, around 8-12 months. You will want to cut back on her food and lower basking temps (as explained earlier) at around 6 months old. They will develop mustard yellow and blue dots/splotches on their sides once sexually mature, and will be be able to lay infertile eggs at that point.

You will want a laying bin in the cage by 5 months old, but just already having it in there is even better.

Thank u so much! Yes she is 4 or 5 months I think. I just wanna be prepared for it.
 
Oh I thought she was younger. Yes you will want to get a laying bin ready in the cage just in case.
 
I didn't look at photos I just saw your health thread saying a few weeks and assumed it was true lol. My bad
