Laybin

[CamrynTheCham22]

I have the female veiled and I do have a laybin ready to set up for her. She has never laid eggs before, and she is about one and a half years old. I thought that to be odd, but she is a little small for her age and, granted, I bought her from a chain store. I have no reason to believe she is pregnant (if she were, it would be infertile) but I do want to be ready if she ever does need lay eggs. Many people tell me to put a laybin in the bottom of her cage, but nothing will fit! My cage is too full of foliage and twigs, and I want to make sure whatever she lays her eggs in is big enough. I put a small bin of sand in there for a little while to see if she noticed it (it was about 4 inches deep, I just wanted to see if she would try digging) and she didn't even care. I have a bigger bin prepared, I just wanted to know what other female veiled chameleon owners have done in the past. I am in need of some laybin inspiration!

I have a female panther, but here's how mine is set up. The female's is the cage on the right side of the picture sitting on the flower pot.

Oh I see so the bottom of the cage is actually a pot so the chameleon can dig. That is very clever. I don't know, but I have been stressed out lately because my chameleon does not seem to be pregnant. I will post a picture of her tomorrow because I want to be sure. The weird thing is, maybe once every two weeks, she wanders the cage late at night. She doesn't really go to the ground that much, which is why I didn't think it was gravidity. She has been doing this for a long time and I have never pinpointed a reason.
I believe she is too small to lay eggs, but I am unsure so that is why I will post a picture tomorrow.

A sign of her being receptive or is ready to lay is organge and blue coloring/markings and I really like the laybin idea above.

The only colors she has are different shades of green and sometimes a greenish yellow. I have no idea why she has never shown any blue or anything like that, but she has been in my care since February 2, 2017, so she is definitely reached sexual maturity. She is quite a wonder, and I am positively stumped!

Post a photo of her when you can and include a pic of her heel on her back foot just to double check sex. Odd she hasnt laid eggs yet but no two chameleons are the same so she could just be a late bloomer.

I am basically 99% sure she is a female because she has a small casque, muted colors, smaller size, and no foot spurs. I will still post a picture though. Also, her diet is medium dubia roaches every other day or so and some snacks in between. When I feed her she gets about 8, which I thought would definitely be enough for her to lay eggs.
