My female veiled out of nowhere started spending alot of time on the bottom of the enclosure clawing around the Eco earth and the past three days she seems to be struggling with her hind legs I took her out they seem to grip very strong still but the movent of them seems off her tail seems to work well also But just last week she seemed healthy as a horse does mbd occur that fast I believe she could be gravid could that cause problems like this ? I'd love your imput

I have too 5.0 UVB bulbs and a ceramic heat emitter

She does look to have MBD and she also has her big girl colors and may also need to lay eggs. Do you have a laying bin for her? I would also dig the hole for her in hopes that she will use the hole that you dug. She is going to need some liquid calcium and a vet visit and plenty of natural sunshine if you live in an area where she can go outside. I'm attaching a couple of my blogs for you below. The first is about egg laying and the laying bin and the second is general care for your chameleon with a special section for females.
