My female veiled chameleon hasn't been eating much the last few days, and her color is darker than usual.
She is about 2 years old now, and has laid eggs before: 7/5/14- 63 eggs, 9/25/14- 51 eggs, 12/17/14- 40 eggs, and on 3/7/15 she laid 53 eggs. All the eggs were infertile because she has never been bred. She usually lays a lot of eggs, as you can see, but I doubt she is gravid again already. I'm not sure if her egg-laying history is helpful or not... And also she has a plant-growth-lamp, a heating lamp, and a UV bulb (I can look up the specific brands if needed) in her ginormous and plant filled cage. None of the plants are plastic. I also have a misting system set up that sprays filtered water for 15 seconds once an hour.
So usually Iggy gets a variety of crickets, meal worms, and wax-worms. Since it is getting warmer and insects are out again, she's also been eating some moths, bugs, flies, etc that I caught in the last week or so. And no one really uses pesticide in my neighborhood, so the insects should be chemical-free.
I'm worried about her, because some of her favorite treats were buzzing around in front of her face and she just looked at them but stayed on her basking spot. She has been dark green with some orange-ish spots since yesterday.
Does anyone know why?
