Panther Cham with eggs ?

[Callum1168]

Oki so I've finally come to the conclusion the my Cham is a female. So now comes the question when will I know or how will I know when my Cham has her eggs and needs a bin. ?
What is the best way to set up a laying bin ?
And what extra care does she require ?

She will display gravid colours when carrying eggs! What chameleon do u keep? As for panthers when gravid I just keep everything the same the laying bin is in all year round, and I cover the females up when they go off the food to give her maximum privacy so she don't abandon the laying site/tunnel and become egg bound and I just dust all feeders with pure calcium only when gravid. It's important to know the soil/sand/compost/peat should be moist enought to hold a tunnel. But not two wet or too dry.
Not gravid

Gravid

If you keep the temps low enough and don't overfeed her, she may never develop eggs. If you don't plan to breed her, that should be your goal.
