I also have a male, but he's incredibly shy and hides from me whenever he sees me making it difficult to get pictures of him.

She's such a pretty lady!
I love her little sail. One day I'd love to branch out into the less commonly kept species!

I’m fairly new to chams and not familiar with this species, what is it if you don’t mind me asking? Love the ridge on the spine!

She's a crested chameleon (Trioceros cristatus).

This is the kind of picture I'm stuck with taking of my male, so I usually don't bother trying to get pictures of him.

She laid 10 eggs during shipment when I got them back in early June. 4 have gone bad and I still have 6 incubating. She also appears to be gravid again right now. If you look in the picture, you might be able to see the lumps from the eggs inside her back by her back leg.

Any update on how those eggs are doing and if she laid again? Super curious about this species! Thanks for sharing!

The eggs seem to be doing well as far as I can tell. I'm not so sure she's gravid anymore. Sometimes she just looks more plump than others. A little while back, I saw she had some dirt on her tail and a little on the end of her mouth so I dug around in the soil, but I didn't find anything. I'll have to try putting her in with my male soon and see what happens.
