Definitely let Momma rest! She just had a pretty good size clutch, another one right away could deplete her calcium and lead to MBD.
Lady Jade, the Little Mamma, is treated like royalty all the time. When I kiss and praise her now, she puts her nose tip-to-tip with mine... she's just too adorable!
I'd love to rest her forever -- no more babies -- I believe I've read that they can use some sperm and store the rest for a rainy day.
I think it's up to Mother Nature unless you know something I don't know.
My girl was a trooper! She was so brown from caked on dirt, and she was losing the stamina to keep backfilling so I removed her, completed her chore and kept her warm -- she was freezing!
The first thing the very next day she went down to the bin and patted down some soil I'd missed.
After bedtime, I took her bin and got the eggs. Luckily I used a large clear bowl, and I could see where the eggs were laid.
I think my recent trip for 4 days/3 nights took more of a toll on everyone. Lady Jade looked worse than after laying all those eggs, and it felt like all my Babies lost weight and shrank.
I know that my dogs AND chameleons were treated very well, the only issue was bug feeding. It's miraculous how many people are afraid of worms and bugs!
I left instructions if my sitters were afraid, just give them their salads and fruit of the day. Technically they lost 2 days of worms and bugs, and some of the chubbies can afford a day or more without food.
The "Baby Daddy" now has his sights set on Dutchess, but, she's off limits until she's a year old. If I let Dutchess get pregnant it won't be with Baby Daddy anyway, it would be with Lord Charmander -- because they both have quite a bit of blue coloring and could possibly produce a distinctive line of gorgeous blue chameleons.
