It's the point that needs to be made !!. Even if slurpy lives 2 years make it the best 2 years possible !!. Put a laying bin in the enclosure if you want to be stubborn on sex bc if that's a female and she's got eggs or is getting ready for egg production along with mild case of MBD . She will be egg bound and that surely will kill her . . I'm not one to ever say give up a pet but if u feel you're over you're head with her condition and being female then maybe it's time to find someone whom can get her on the right track .

Please don't take that Offensively I'm not trying to be mean .

Well you're being a lot more civil and polite than Nurse.
I booked them a 3 day stay at the vet where tests will be done and they'll see truly what can and can't be done. They're going to be leaving today at 5.
In that 3 day period I'll be deep cleaning and building a new enclosure for Slurpy to for their needs, including an optional lay box when/if the time comes.
 
I think that there are many issues represented, both regarding the health of the chameleon and questions of the poster's motives in replying to the thread. We have all given the poster the best advice and it's up to her to follow it. Personal attacks and criticism are not motivating and don't help motivate people to do what's best for the animal. If you don't have anything productive to add and since everything has already been said, that's highly likely, just ignore the thread and walk away from the situation. Believe me, I understand the frustration, but it's never a good thing to "call people out", no matter their behavior, as it only perpetuates it. Offer advice, be bigger, and walk away.
I'm addressing everyone in general, not any single person and I'm not stating any opinions about the original poster's behavior, I'm only attempting to keep the perspectives clear and the conversation productive, the poster receptive, and keep things chameleon focused.
This is a VERY sick animal and it is very hard to see. Hopefully, for every animal that suffers from misinformation or ignorance, we can imagine the forum ensures the great care and prevention of these instances many more times. It is the scenario, from dog breeding to fish keeping. You will always have those that jump in the deep end, before they dip their toe in and animals will suffer. You also have those that know better, but do as they please. Some cases are a bit of both and perhaps we can admit we have all been guilty at some juncture.
In this case, all that can and should be said has been.

@Nursemaia is amazing she has rescued many chamealon she hands down got my Frances on the right track . Not only that but she is a nurse so her care is above and beyound . If she seemed harsh it's truly bc she care for these baby's .

I think I have told you my Frances came from a pet store tiny and unhealthy but we could not leave her there to die . The first 6 weeks was very hard she had eye issues and a respiratory infection . It took a lot of care , help from here and a great vet . @Nursemaia answered every question and concern I had and I followed what she told me . This is Frances today

she's healthy and beautiful. There are amazing keepers on here and it's possible for a unhealthy chamealon to get healthy but it takes care and means .
 
@Kristen Wilkins I totally agree. Though I haven't had a problem to the extent of yours, ever since I've joined the forums everyone has been nothing but helpful. I'm a bit of a worrywart when it comes to making sure Mondo's acting right, and I know I might ask too many questions from time to time, but the people on here are so patient with me. It couldn't be more obvious that this is their passion, and I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this community.

Oh I get it . I'm not new to lizards I have had bearded dragons and geckos since 13 that's many years . Frances is our first chamealon . We researched 2 years . We knew the risk of pet store chamealon but she was there so tiny and unhealthy we could not leave her . We did not know if she was boy or girl initially . We did not care . We did things wrong but got help here and @Nursemaia , @jannb , and @rambonerzilla help me out immensely . I asked Nursemaia so many questions I thought she must think I'm an imbecile !!. Nope she answered every question . Gave me a wealth of info and advice . Like I said she got Frances on track there absolutely no question .

Update on abdomen squish: I still can't feel any eggs, I can however feel poop. Hopefully they'll pass it soon

I have said this before... 'I'm no eggspert'...
But she's just showing receptive so I don't think you will be able to feel the eggs as they still need to be developed.

I think that you should not feel for it as it will not be pleasent for her and it will give stress while she's already not doing to wel.
