My Cham is looking quite fat

[darthink]

Hi there,

Pascala, my chameleon, is looking somewhat fat. Her stomach kind of bulges, but maybe it was just the angle I was looking at. I know she'll eventually need to lay eggs, but I don't really know the signs. She's about 10 months old. I have a potted plant, and not sure if that's suitable for her to dig.

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks!

She looks like she has eggs and needs a laying bin now. Below I've attached my blog about egg laying and the laying bin and Dez's video on how to make a laying bin. The potted plant will not work and if you don't provide her with a laying bin she could become egg bound and die. I would highly recommend you set up a laying bin today. I recommend keeping a laying bin in their enclosure at all time after they reach 4 months old.

Wow, thanks a lot! I'll have to get right on top of this! I can't believe she's already getting eggs!

The video is by Dez. She is one of the senior members here and she makes allot of educational videos for the forums. You should check out some more of them.

So I made a container of dirt-ish stuff for her to dig in and make eggs. Does this look right? It's at least 8 inches and there's no plants or anything, so she can clearly see that she might be attracted to digging there.

The thing is, I haven't seen her really even touch it yet.

Thanks for any and all help!

How is your cham doing? Did she lay her eggs?
