She wont eat

[Toothless the cham]

I am not sure if this is something that I need to be worried about or not. I'm not sure if this is very serious but my female chameleon the lethal will not eat. She has been like this for the past two days I'm not sure if I should keep offering her food because there's still living food in the feeding area. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or if I should make a vet visit or not please tell me the next time that I can possibly make a vet visit at all will probably be Friday. I do have live in ready in case she is gravel. More sound will be added as needed.

Most likely she is gravid and getting ready to lay. Cover up the lower half of her enclosure to give her privacy. It may be a couple of days, so if she’s visible on a branch in the morning, offer food and hydration then cover her until the next morning.

I’d agree with @MissSkittles: she looks plump, she’s showing purple, and she stopped eating...she needs a laybin. Gimme a sec and I’ll post a link.

Does she have a proper lay bin in her cage?
Has she laid eggs before?

@kinyonga, I can’t find the laybin link, do you have it?

 

[kinyonga]

Is this the one...

I use washed playsand produced by Kings instead of soil.

No she has not and she is hearing the 1 year old mark

I will do this but are you all 100% sure she is gravis I know some people are very experienced in veild's not that I don't trust any of you but still want 100% verification

I do use plays and so I think I should put more? The last pic is the lay in shoulders I put it in a more accsessable aria other than on the bottom in the front corner of the vivarium.
Also am I allowed to keep the mistking on while she is laying?

The only way to be 100% is to go to the vet and get an X-ray

I did schedule vet appointment for Friday for both of my chameleons AKA Toothless and Leafa.

I can't see your last picture clearly.
Look at the link I gave you and set the laybin up like that. If you wait too long to give her a proper place she could become eggbound and die.

 

[MissSkittles]

Between her age, coloration, plumpness and not eating I’d put my money on her being gravid. With that being said though, my Stella has her colors on and isn’t wanting to eat and is nonstop cruising around her enclosure (she’s always been a little porker) but she’s receptive...not yet gravid.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Gravid, is that colored sand at the bottom?

It is not colored it is just bad lighting.

And Is it bad that i see her sleeping and not walking around the cage looking for a place to lay?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

If her lights are on and it’s daytime where ever you are, yes that’s bad. If it’s night she’s fine

 

[Toothless the cham]

OK so I moved the bottom around a bit and this is the sand refilled.

The sand will hold form as shown
Is there anything else I need to prepare other than cover the bottom

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Remove the top 1/4 of the sand.

What are it’s current measurements?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Or can you put a common item in the foreground to give the bin some scale?
